No Longer a Rookie
Since this was his second season of Gut Job, Sebastian had the benefit of experience on his side this time. We asked him how this one compared to his freshman season. “You know, it feels great. This season we took on a lot of challenges. We did a houseboat, and the building code is completely different on the water. Levels don’t really work when your foundation is moving, but I felt more comfortable taking on those challenges this time around.”
Head in the Game
Coming from the CFL, Sebastian was no stranger to hard work, but like football, renovations can require the right headspace. We asked if there were any rituals that help get him into the right mindset for any part of the build. “Yeah, I drink a lot of coffee.” He laughs before he thinks on it a little more. “I actually will take my shoes and socks off at the end of a build and walk around the brand-new floors and ground myself in the space. I think in season one I did a whole reveal barefoot.”
Downtime
“Free time is something that doesn’t exist in my world. Time is so valuable, and I feel like I’m in my high-octane years, so there’s nothing really free about it. I’m always looking for that next thing.” From the sounds of it, season two was just the beginning. There’ll be a lot more exciting builds to come from the Gut Job team.

A Job Well Done
Seeing how much he’s always on the go, we wanted to know which part of his crazy build schedules he found the most satisfying. “The thing I find the most satisfying lately is whenever we get to restructure a home. When we take walls down, everyone is afraid there’s going to be lurking problems, but secretly there’s a small part of me that gets excited to restructure this home.”
A Point of Pride
We wanted to know what stood out as a particularly proud moment in his builds. “The thing that I’m most proud of right now is Ayanna. Ayanna played a major part this season. It’s really cool to watch your partner grow a business.” As much as we love Sebastian’s designs, we’re just as excited to see Ayanna show off what she can do, too.
Reno Returns
“We actually had clients come back from the first season, which is a testament to our work.” It’s hard not to appreciate the pride in his voice as he recalls the job. “Unfortunately, they were one of those builds where we pulled back the walls and found problems. It was intense, but we performed some building chiropractics and got things back to where they needed to be.”

Styled Out
Anyone who has watched Gut Job will have noticed that Sebastian’s style isn’t just limited to design, he also loves a good fit. “My style has always been rooted in rebellion, rooted in what other people are doing, I always wanted to do the opposite. When I got into TV everybody thought the football guy would come out, probably wearing camouflage, but I showed up in floral print. I don’t want anyone to anticipate what I’m going to do.”

Nahla Update
It wouldn’t be a proper Gut Job update if we didn’t find out how Nahla has been. “She’s been doing great. When I’m tired and fatigued, she’s right there, to say it’s all gonna be okay.”
The Future
So, what’s next for Sebastian and the Gut Job team? “I’m coming into my prime as a builder and my team is incredible. My trades are incredible. Ayana is really heading up these designs in a wonderful way. I feel like we are just getting ready to take on and do some of the best renovations of my life.” We’re certain that’s the case and we can’t wait to watch along.
An Important End
Lastly, we couldn’t let Sebastian go without some hard-hitting journalism. So, we asked him the most serious question we know; if you had to choose your final meal, what would it be? “It’s got to be my mom’s lasagna. A lot of people will remember from season one, my mom sold her house in the city, and she moved out to the country. So, when I’m talking about mom’s lasagna, we’re talking about milk and cheese that she that she milked from her own goats and made her own cheese and grew her own vegetables and grew all the herbs, and the meat is from her butcher across the street. So, everything is coming right off that farm. The flavour is to die for.”
