"If you're not changing, you're not staying relevant." – Regan Brown
Today's guest is Regan Brown, founder of The G.B. Group General Contractors. In 1992, she launched her construction company specializing in HOA reconstruction, high-rise buildings, and apartment complexes across California and Nevada, operating five offices throughout both states.
For over three decades, Regan navigated the challenges of running a construction business as a woman in a predominantly male industry, establishing herself as what she calls an "HOA Reconstruction Specialist."
Beyond construction, Regan is a certified expert thermographer and has published articles on topics such as construction labor, infrared technology in building investigations, and construction defect litigation. She's been recognized as a speaker and educational leader in the industry, presenting on construction costs, reserve funds, and maintenance issues affecting HOA communities.
She also hosts her own podcast called "HOA: It's A True Story" and currently serves as an executive board member at Discovery Sound Technology, a firm developing ultrasound platforms for HVAC and maintenance companies. In 2022, after 32 years of building the business, she successfully transitioned ownership to her twin sons and now focuses on sharing her expertise through speaking and industry leadership.
