AI is not the future of construction.

It’s already here.

In this episode of The Bored Room, Chris McGeady sits down with Ryan Garcilazo, founder of Rotty AI, to talk about how artificial intelligence is transforming construction, project management, and real estate investing.

Ryan shares his journey from traditional construction into building an AI-driven platform designed to educate, streamline operations, and help investors avoid costly mistakes.

They break down:

• How AI is being used inside real construction projects
• Why project management is where most investors lose money
• The importance of paying yourself properly on every deal
• How budgeting discipline determines profitability
• Why adapting to technology is no longer optional

This conversation is not about hype.

It is about execution, systems, and creating a competitive advantage in an increasingly tight market.

If you are flipping houses, managing rehabs, or scaling a real estate business, this episode will shift how you think about operations.

In this episode of The Bored Room, I sit down with Drew Farnese — a long-time real estate operator who’s spent years wholesaling and flipping houses and is now building software for investors and agents.

We talk through Drew’s journey in real estate, the lessons learned from early deals, and what pushed him to start building tools instead of just using them. The conversation naturally moves into software development, what it’s really like to build something new, and where AI actually fits into the future of real estate and business.

This isn’t a product pitch or a polished success story. It’s a real conversation about adapting, learning the hard way, and figuring things out in real time.

No hype.
No scripts.
Just conversation.

This is the first conversation in The Bored Room.

I’ve spent years talking about sales, business, and what actually works. Over time, I realized the most valuable insights don’t come from scripts or frameworks — they come from real conversations.

The Bored Room is a space for honest, unscripted conversations with people who are building, operating, and figuring things out in real time.

No hype.
No scripts.
Just real conversations.

Why do “good” sales conversations still stall?

In this episode, Chris talks through a pattern he sees constantly on sales calls where everything feels polite, smooth, and agreeable, but nothing actually moves forward.

No scripts.
No tactics.
Just clarity around what causes deals to drift and why pressure shows up even when nobody is pushing.

Today we’re kicking off Acquisitions Week with the first step of the Firehouse Sales Method: Calm the Scene.

Most investors rush seller calls because they’re nervous or trying to sound smart. When you do that, the seller shuts down and you never get the real story. In this episode, I’ll show you how slowing things down changes the entire tone of the call and gets the seller talking.

I’ll walk you through the exact opener I use on almost every conversation, why it works, and how to apply it on your next lead. If you want better conversations and fewer stressful calls, start here.

If you want help fixing your seller process, I run two free Q&A calls every week. Bring your deals or whatever you’re stuck on.

Day 3 of the Close Smarter Christmas Series
Today we’re breaking down the real reason so many sales calls fall apart — and it’s not pressure, objections, or the seller being hard to read.

The truth?
Most salespeople are solving the wrong problem.

Sellers rarely reveal their real issue upfront, and when you make assumptions too early, conversations go sideways fast.

In this episode, I cover:

• The hidden problem most reps miss
• Why sellers stay surface-level
• The one question that reveals what’s actually going on
• How to stop jumping ahead too early
• What top closers do differently
• How this shift instantly increases your close rate
