Imagine starting a business with barely $1,000 to your name.

No fancy showroom. No big budget. Just folding chairs, contracts, and the determination to make it work.

That’s how Melissa Brewer started MB Designs right here in Yakima. And from those humble beginnings, her business took off.

Every successful business has a beginning. Sometimes it’s a lot less glamorous than people think.

Hear Melissa’s story on the latest episode of Wired Wattsmart with Josh Torpey.

-Behind Every Successful Business Is a Story Worth Hearing!-

One of the best parts of networking in the Yakima Valley is getting to know the people behind the businesses that make our community great.

On the latest episode of -Wired Wattsmart-, host Josh Torpey sits down with Melissa Brewer, owner of M.B. Designs, for an honest conversation about entrepreneurship, leadership, and what it really takes to build a successful business.

With over 30 years of experience in the design and construction industry, Melissa has an incredible story. From starting over with almost nothing to building a successful design and remodeling company right here in Yakima, she's learned some valuable lessons along the way.

They dive into some topics that I think a lot of business owners in this group can relate to:

- The challenges and sacrifices of owning a business
- Building relationships and surrounding yourself with the right people
- Hiring, leadership, and developing a strong team
- How AI is changing the construction and design industries
- Managing stress, self-doubt, and the pressure to keep growing

-This is exactly why we love highlighting local business owners.-There's so much we can learn from each other's experiences, successes, and even mistakes.

Take some time to check out the episode and learn more about Melissa and her business!

Anybody can point and tell people what needs to get done.

Leadership shows up when things get tough.

Are you the guy standing back yelling orders—or are you willing to pick up the shovel, throw the tools on, and get in there with your crew?

Be the kind of leader people actually want to follow.

What kind of leader does your crew actually want to follow?

The one who points, yells, and tells everyone to get it done?

Or the one who picks up a shovel, throws the tools on, and works alongside the crew when things get tough?

Leadership isn’t just giving orders. Lead by example and be someone your crew wants to follow.

🎙️ NEW WIRED WATTSMART — PROJECT MANAGEMENT PART 1

What actually makes someone good at running a job site?

It’s more than knowing the trade. You’re managing people, labor hours, materials, schedules, communication, quality, change orders—and ultimately helping keep the project profitable.

In Part 1 of our new Project Management series, Josh breaks down the on-site side of project management and what he’s learned from years of running crews and building a contracting business.

We get into:
• Leading by example
• Holding your crew accountable
• Planning ahead and staying organized
• Tracking labor and materials
• Communicating with the GC, other trades, and the office
• Developing the people underneath you
• Documenting changes so the company gets paid
• Becoming the kind of leader your crew actually wants to follow

If you’re a foreman, lead, journeyman moving into leadership—or a contractor building a team—this one’s for you.

A washer, dryer, and outside garage all sharing one box… this was the result.

Burned wiring. Melted connections. Everything in this video is headed for the trash.

⚡ Dedicated circuits aren’t just about convenience — they’re about making sure your electrical system can safely handle the load.

If you’re adding appliances, a garage, shop equipment, or anything with a heavy electrical load, make sure the wiring is designed for it.

No, those aren’t black holes in the ceiling. 😂

They’re the start of a whole-home Sonos audio setup. 🔊

Architectural speakers give you big sound without speakers taking up space around the room.
