About this Episode
Welcome to The Online Prosperity Show, and I'm your host Prosper Taruvinga. This is the number one place to discover exclusive insights and untold stories from industry leaders who are shaping the way we live, work, and grow — and today’s episode is no exception.
Joining us is none other than Kieran Lewis — Managing Director of JDL Construction Group and the man who might just be the only builder in Brisbane who’s more afraid of the dentist than a busted foundation. After knocking out his two front teeth, the dentist became enemy number one… but that didn’t stop him from smiling his way through building not one but several successful ventures.
From graduating with a business degree and working a corporate gig at Boral, to trading spreadsheets for sawdust alongside his dad and launching JDL Construction from the ground up, Kieran’s story is anything but your typical builder’s tale. This episode isn’t just about blueprints and bricks — it’s about identity, risk, renewal, and the grit it takes to go from uncertainty to legacy-building.
You’ll hear how a leap into the unknown turned into a thriving business that’s given jobs, homes, and hope to many. Along the way, Kieran shares game-changing insights — like understanding the real numbers behind a construction business, the power of branding and design, and learning to stop doing 90-hour workweeks by trusting and hiring the right people.
Think back to a moment where you faced a career pivot or tough decision. What made you move? Drop it in the comments — we want to hear your turning point.
You’ll also discover why building trust is more than pouring concrete, why clients choose JDL Construction over others, and what makes BruteBags and Urban Cottage more than just side projects. Kieran proves why he’s the builder to watch — and why his work goes far beyond just the job site.
This episode is packed with transformation, both seen and unseen. Kieran opens up about his proudest achievements, including employees who’ve stayed by his side for nearly a decade — a sign that he’s building more than homes; he’s building loyalty, culture, and community.
You’ll come to appreciate how his early days of uncertainty somehow shaped the kind of leader he is today. There’s a deeper purpose behind it all, and by the end of this conversation, you’ll see it too — and maybe even spot a bit of your own story in his journey.
