The head of Hrovat, Jaka Hrovat, was a guest on the Construction Diary podcast.
With the moderator, they open a story that begins with wood, a family craft, and a 60-year tradition – but very quickly grows into a conversation about freedom, inner peace, relationships, and the question of how much a person really needs for a good life.
They talk about the family business, the relationship between father and son, the mistakes you have to make yourself, and how a company changes when a person no longer builds from ego, but from inner peace.
They also touch on craftsmanship, the value of manual work, entrepreneurial pressure, the state, taxes, the team, responsibility, and the question of why Slovenians often do not value enough what we know how to do exceptionally well.
This is not just an episode about modular houses. This is an episode about what it means to create from within yourself – and why home is not necessarily a bigger space, but a more honest life.
How much space does a person really need?
