Special Guest- Ariel Mastbrook

In this episode of Trade Talk, Sarah White and Lindsay Lord sit down with Ariel Mastbrook, founder of Limitless Lioness, a company that helps builders and remodelers streamline operations, reduce chaos, and reclaim time for what matters most.

Ariel shares how her experience working inside design-build firms led her to launch a business dedicated to helping contractors build smarter systems — not more tools. From lead tracking to project management and client communication, she breaks down simple ways to create structure that saves time, money, and stress.

Whether you’re a one-person operation or running multiple crews, this conversation will help you see how the right systems can transform your business, your mindset, and your work-life balance.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• The hidden cost of disorganization — and how to fix it

• Why builders don’t need more tools, just better frameworks

• Simple, scalable systems organize projects and clients

• How structure creates freedom for both work and family life

Practical tips for introducing systems your team will actually use

“You don’t need more tools. You just need a better framework.”
