In Episode 6 of BUILT DIFFERENT, Erin Sykes sits down with Hayley Schapiro, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Founder of Curated Therapy Collective, for a nuanced conversation about mental health strategy for high-functioning leaders.

Hayley brings a rare perspective shaped by years of clinical practice and patient advocacy, explaining why many people struggle to benefit from therapy even when they are doing “everything right.”

The issue is often not readiness or effort, but misalignment. This episode explores how traditional directories, algorithms, and self-diagnosis frameworks fail to capture the complexity of real lives, especially for executives, entrepreneurs, and performers operating at a high level.

Erin and Hayley discuss the quiet patterns that tend to surface among high achievers. They also examine the difference between coaching and clinical care along with why proactive support can be far more effective than waiting for a breaking point.

Rather than positioning therapy as crisis intervention, this conversation reframes it as a strategic tool for clarity, sustainability, and long-term growth, guided by human judgment rather than checklists.

Listen if you’re:

• A high-performing professional looking to sharpen clarity without burning out
• Frustrated by impersonal therapy platforms or algorithm-based matching
• Curious about how mental health support actually works for leaders and executives
• Interested in proactive, human-first approaches to growth and decision-making

In episode 6 of BUILT DIFFERENT, Erin Sykes sits down with Christopher Seville, founder of Thatch Construction, to unpack the realities of modern construction, project management, and development in South Florida. A West Palm Beach native and experienced owner’s representative, Chris brings a rare, operator-first perspective on what actually determines whether a project succeeds or stalls.

The conversation goes far beyond tools and timelines. Chris unpacks what an owner’s rep actually does, drawing a clear line between building and true coordination. Efficiency, he explains, isn’t about moving faster but about staying aligned. The discussion also touches on how high-rise development has changed over time, the growing influence of branded residences on the condo market, and the ripple effects of rising costs on developers, investors, and the communities they impact.

At the center of it all is people. From subcontractors and city officials to developers and residents, Chris explains why integrity, transparency, and accountability are the real drivers of sustainable development, and why building better cities starts long before concrete is poured.

This episode is a must-listen for developers, real estate professionals, investors, and anyone curious about how cities grow, and who growth is really for.

Listen if you’re:

• A developer, investor, or owner navigating complex projects and trying to understand where deals actually succeed or break down
• A real estate or construction professional who wants a clearer picture of what an owner’s rep really does and why that role is critical
• Interested in how high-rise development, branded residences, and rising construction costs are reshaping South Florida
• Thinking about growth not just in terms of buildings, but in terms of community, people, and legacy

In Episode 5 of BUILT DIFFERENT, Erin Sykes sits down with Krista Watterworth Alterman, founder of Krista Home and design partner at Vesta Home, to unpack what it really takes to build, scale, and successfully exit a creative business without losing your identity.

Krista shares her journey from television host and creative talent to luxury interior designer, entrepreneur, and business owner whose firm was acquired by national staging and design company Vesta Home.

Erin and Krista explore the realities of mergers and acquisitions and unpack the difference between staging and true interior design. They also discuss how collaboration has become a defining advantage in today’s design and real estate markets.

The conversation moves into the business side of luxury service. Krista breaks down pricing, process, and what it takes to manage complex construction timelines. She explains why white-glove execution and operational discipline matter just as much as creative vision.

Krista also reflects on shedding past identities and building teams with grit. She talks about what actually sustains long-term success and how much of it comes down to mindset and follow-through.

Listen if you’re:

• Curious about acquisitions, partnerships, and scaling beyond boutique
• A homeowner, developer, or agent navigating design vs staging decisions
• Interested in luxury branding, operations, and white-glove service
• Focused on building something valuable enough to sell
