The Winnipeg Business Podcast

Imagine showing up to an interview with wacky socks only to find out the guest's socks are just as wacky!

In this episode, TWBP visits a Dream Home in the making built by none other than Dueck Builders.

It was amazing to hear that a company cared so much about their client that they didnt just build a home and offer it to them, they asked the client what they wanted and made their dream come true!

Josh Friesen, was definitely an awesome guest and we're sure this isn't the last we've seen of him.
