BUILT TO GROW: TAKING RISKS, CHASING BIG IDEAS, AND WHAT'S NEXT
Sat, Nov 7 · 11:30 AM · Main Stage
Long before millions of people knew them as the Property Brothers, Drew and Jonathan Scott were builders, real estate entrepreneurs — and relentless idea guys.
They've since turned that foundation into television, production, products, investments and businesses reaching far beyond renovation. Drew and Jonathan talk about the bets that paid off, the ones that didn't, how they decide which opportunities are worth pursuing and why they're still willing to try something new.
And, of course, Chip will find out what they're building next.

THIS IS THE GOLDEN AGE OF DIY
Sat, Nov 7 · 2:30 PM · Main Stage
Everybody starts somewhere. April Wilkerson shares how she went from having no tools and no experience in building a career through DIY. Along the way, she'll explore the lessons, confidence, and opportunities that come from making things yourself, whether DIY is your hobby or your side hustle. Expect real stories, hard-earned insights, and a reminder that there's never been a better time to aim a little higher and create something bigger.
