This episode features Nick and Samantha Riccio of Eagle Hill Homes sharing their accidental journey from house hacking and DIY renovations into building a full-scale design-build and development business. They discuss how early hands-on work, social media visibility, and shifting market needs shaped their pivot from pure investing into client-focused construction and larger development projects. The conversation also dives into partnership dynamics, hiring and scaling a team, navigating risk, and balancing client work with long-term goals like growing a rental portfolio. Throughout, Nick and Sam reflect on resilience, perspective, and how unexpected challenges—including major personal ones—reshaped both their business philosophy and approach to life.
