In this episode of the Building Better Podcast, host Lauren Tucker sits down with Mike Elya, owner of Elya Construction, to talk about what it really means to build something that lasts—whether it’s a business, a brand, or a home for your own family.
Mike shares how joining the HBA has helped accelerate his business growth through networking, education, and access to resources he didn’t have when starting out. From professional development courses like CAPS and Spanish jobsite communication to volunteering at events like the Home Expo, Mike’s story is a blueprint for getting the most out of your membership.
We also dive into his philosophy of professionalism on the jobsite, how he’s building his own family home on a multigenerational farm, and why leading with integrity is the best way to stand out in a crowded industry.
Whether you’re just getting started or looking to deepen your connection to the trades, Mike’s story is equal parts inspiring and practical.
