Meet Devon Tilly
I believe construction isn't just about buildings — it's about the people who build them.
After years in the window and door industry, I realized something was missing: real conversations between the people actually doing the work. So in 2014, I started The Art of Construction — not to build an audience, but to build connections.

"Every builder has a story. My job is to help them tell it."
— Devon Tilly
I'M NO DIFFERENT
I could tell you about the podcast downloads, the community...
Or that I've interviewed hundreds of construction industry leaders.
But that's all noise without the WHY.
Because I went through everything you're dealing with... maybe WORSE.
Long hours. Feeling isolated. Wondering if there was a better way to run a business in construction.
Doubt that "someone like me" could actually build something that mattered.
But here's what I realized... it was preparation.
Preparation to give you everything I never had.
The conversations, connections, and community that let me finally build something bigger than myself.
To show you it's possible without sacrificing your family, your health, or your sanity.
Because on the other side of building your tribe is a business that actually works for you.
The Full Story
I grew up in the construction industry. It's in my blood.
As President of Mountain View Window & Door in Denver, I've spent years working with builders, contractors, and tradespeople who pour their hearts into every project. But somewhere along the way, I noticed something was missing.
The industry was full of incredible people doing amazing work — but they weren't talking to each other. Knowledge was siloed. Best practices stayed local. And the same problems kept getting solved over and over again in isolation.
So in 2014, I grabbed a microphone and started having conversations.
What began as simple podcast interviews with industry friends quickly became something bigger. Builders started reaching out. Manufacturers wanted to share their stories. Architects, developers, and tech innovators all had insights worth spreading.
Ten years and 387+ episodes later, The Art of Construction has reached over 721,000 downloads. But the numbers aren't what drive me.
What drives me is watching someone hear an idea on the show and implement it the next day. It's seeing strangers become collaborators. It's building a tribe of people who believe construction can be better — and are doing something about it.
That's why I created the Master Facilitators community. That's why we host events at Turkey Toe. That's why I show up every week ready to learn from someone new.
Because construction isn't just about buildings. It's about the people who build them. And those people deserve to be heard.
