🎧 Listen Anywhere

What makes someone walk away from a stable career path to build something real with their hands? In this episode of The Deconstruction Podcast, we sit down with Michael Ariganello, owner of AMJ Custom Renovations, to talk about his journey from teaching to running a fast-growing renovation company in Ontario.

Michael shares what it’s like starting out in a competitive market, building a trustworthy crew, balancing the tools with business strategy, and how focusing on knowledge over money has fueled his growth.

We dive into the realities of the trades today—training the next generation, staying profitable in a tight economy, and how technology like Jobtable helps contractors save time, quote faster, and manage everything in one place.
