Welcome to KP Unpacked of the #1 podcast in AEC.

In this conversation, KP Reddy and Nick Durham cut through the noise and challenge the stories AEC leaders keep telling themselves. From LinkedIn posts that sparked heated debates to hard truths the industry avoids, this episode doesn’t play safe. It pushes you to rethink how innovation, scarcity, and leadership actually work in the built world.

We revisit KP’s most discussed LinkedIn posts, including:

  • Why paradox is a moat.
  • The real reason startups fail in AEC.
  • What leaders get wrong about exclusivity.
  • Wrappers vs. Builders: the value equation no one wants to face.
  • Why “safe” advice will kill your vision faster than risk ever will.

💡 Episode Highlights:

  • “Innovation in AEC isn’t optional. It’s survival.”
  • “Scarcity creates power. Abundance creates noise.”
  • “Wrappers aren’t builders. Services aren’t IP.”
  • “Safe advice is the fastest way to kill a big idea.”
  • “Exclusivity is a moat, but only if you dare to enforce it.”
