What does winning look like to you?

“The best businesses are built on a good idea and solid strategic planning.”
In this episode of The Mark Haney Show, Ivan Katrenyak — CEO of IMKAT Homes, one of California’s leading ADU builders — explains why both idea and execution matter, and why neither works without the other.

Ivan shares how strong business mindset, disciplined strategy, and relentless follow-through helped scale IMKAT into a $50M ADU business by age 28, while simultaneously leading a growing faith movement through United Church and United Revival.

This conversation explores:
• Why a great idea without strategy fails — and why strategy without vision stalls
• How effective idea execution drives real business growth
• The role of faith, clarity, and conviction in entrepreneurial leadership
• Why systems, people, and planning matter more than hustle alone
• What “winning” actually looks like when purpose and performance align

Whether you’re building a company, investing in real estate, or sharpening your leadership edge, this episode delivers entrepreneur motivation, practical insight, and a powerful growth mindset.
