Show Notes

In this episode of Ski In Sell Out, Max and Lauren sit down with builder Matt Russell, founder of Build Utah, to talk about what really happens behind the scenes of luxury construction in Park City.

Matt’s journey didn’t start with blueprints — it started in dental school in Manhattan. After 9/11, a Volkswagen bus, and a cross-country reset, he chose dirt over dentistry and never looked back.

We talk about:

  • Why every contractor ends up being a marriage therapist
  • What 25 years in construction actually teaches you
  • The stress of building homes that have never been built before
  • Big glass walls, bigger expectations
  • Trust in an “open kimono” business
  • And what it takes to build a company that lasts longer than the homes inside it

This is a conversation about craftsmanship, reputation, and why trust matters more than tile.
