From Haters to Headlines: How Nick Schiffer Turned Skepticism Into a Masterpiece

In this episode of The Curious Builder Podcast, Mark Williams sits down with Nick Schiffer of NS Builders to dive deep into the journey of building the iconic 45 White Oak home. They chat about the challenges of pushing boundaries in luxury spec building, the importance of team effort and relentless vision, and how storytelling and true craftsmanship can shape both a project and an industry. Along the way, they share lots of behind-the-scenes insights, funny stories, and talk about the ripple effect that comes from following your passion—even when it makes you look a little crazy.
