What happens when you go bankrupt, rebuild from scratch, and turn your biggest failure into your greatest strength?
In this episode of Builder Buzz by Home Nation, host Quinton Comino sits down with seasoned entrepreneur Scott Berman to talk about the real cost of mistakes, the power of resilience, and what it means to build something that lasts. Scott opens up about filing for bankruptcy, mentoring struggling contractors, and the invaluable lessons he learned working with his father and building Florida Window and Door.
Quinton also reflects on how his team is using tech to bring e-commerce into the mobile home industry—selling over 300 homes last year—and what it takes to innovate in a legacy space without losing sight of fundamentals like honesty, hustle, and human connection.

- Why Scott says bankruptcy was the best thing that ever happened to him

- How mentorship can rescue smart business owners from their own blind spots
- The challenge of shipping homes like t-shirts—and what it takes to make it work
