ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Jackson Digney’s journey isn’t your typical builder’s story. From growing up on the beaches of Perth to running Enduro Builders and Climashore in Adelaide, Jackson’s career has been driven by curiosity, sustainability, and integrity. In this episode, we unpack how his passion for energy-efficient design and building science has shaped his mission to build homes that last and tread lightly on the planet.

Joined by hosts Luke Callery and Dean Backman (live from Adelaide), Jackson shares how sailing, manufacturing, and family lessons on financial discipline led him to building better – from fixing another builder’s books to launching a thriving high-performance building company.

💡 What You’ll Learn
• How a sailing hobby led Jackson into the world of building and business
• Why sustainability starts with mindset and integrity, not just materials
• Lessons from Earthships and the link to modern Passive House design
• How Climashore bridges the gap between building science and practicality
• Why saying “no” to the wrong client can save your business long-term
