February 7, 2024
WITH CO-HOSTS: HEREDES RIBEIRO & COLLIN HOKE
Collin and H sit down with Justin and Stephanie Jones, the creative minds behind the home renovation show "Busted Cribs."

Episode Summary.

Imagine transforming a neglected house into a warm home, not just for profit but as a heartfelt mission. That's the extraordinary journey of Justin and Stephanie Jones of Busted Cribs, who join us to unveil the interplay of their personal reinventions and their passion for house flipping. Stephanie's bold shift from a television executive to a home design sage, alongside Justin's construction acumen, has crafted a tale of triumph and faith. They don't merely renovate spaces; they create hope and foster communities, sharing how each property flip generously supports their philanthropic work.

We're not just talking about slapping on a new coat of paint and calling it a day. The Joneses walk us through the grit and joy of turning the most forlorn properties into stunning living spaces, all while weaving in their commitment to giving back. Their anecdotes range from upcycling forgotten treasures to confronting complete rebuilds, underscoring the belief that their financial success is a means to enrich lives through their nonprofit efforts. It's a candid look at how they balance their public persona with a private dedication to their cause.

The essence of this episode, though, lies in the stories—those of houses with untapped potential, and of people whose lives are uplifted through strategic philanthropy. Justin and Stephanie highlight the symbiotic relationship between their for-profit flips and nonprofit missions, along with the art of storytelling that galvanizes community support. It's a testament to the idea that a strong narrative can resonate profoundly with an audience, compelling action and engendering lasting change. Chuckle along as they recount funny behind-the-scenes moments and share insights on the challenges and surprises of working together as a married couple in the unpredictable world of house renovations.
