ADHD On The Jobsite with Skye Waterson

Saison 6 · Épisode 182

lundi 1 décembre 2025 • Durée 46:26

Send us a text

We explore how ADHD shows up on jobsites and in leadership, why admin feels harder than building, and how to design simple systems that create focus without brute force. We share tactics for working memory, notification overload, and consistent growth that fit ADHD brains.

• what ADHD looks like across life, not just school
• inattentive, hyperactive, and combined types clarified
• why phones hijack attention when tasks feel boring or confusing
• the working memory gap on forms, photos, and compliance
• construction admin friction versus hands-on work
• urgency filters and needle movers to reclaim focus
• using a gatekeeper for Slack and email noise
• visual workflows and weekly meetings for accountability
• sleep and exercise as force multipliers for symptoms
• shifting from self-criticism to system design

Matching Communication Styles to Beat Price Wars with Jeff Borovitz

Saison 6 · Épisode 181

mardi 28 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:16:31

Send us a text

Price isn’t the villain—unclear communication is. We sit down with Jeff Borovitz of Sandler to explore how a psychology-led sales process helps construction companies stop chasing bad-fit bids, avoid unpaid change orders, and build trust that holds up once shovels hit dirt. Jeff breaks down the biggest trap he sees on both residential and commercial teams—premature presentation—and shows how to slow down, uncover three to five real pains, and turn conversations from “How cheap?” to “How do we make the outcome certain?”

We get tactical. You’ll hear how to spot and adapt to different communication styles so clients feel heard, not handled. We dig into handling discount pressure with questions that reframe value—like asking change order and final-versus-quoted price percentages—so you lead as the expert instead of defending your bid. Jeff also explains why revenue and profit are lagging indicators, and how strong leaders prioritize leading signals: pipeline quality, ICP fit, access to dialogue-based RFPs, and stage conversion rates that predictably move work forward.

The team also talks VUCA—volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity—and the strain it puts on crews, clients, and owners. Jeff’s take: remove fear, doubt, and worry by modeling courage, setting clear expectations, and simplifying operating rhythms. And yes, AI plays a healthy role here. Use it to automate dull admin, improve precon clarity, and even rehearse tough client calls with an AI sales coach so reps show up practiced and calm when it counts.

If you want to protect margin without cutting corners, build a pipeline you actually want to win, and give your field teams cleaner handoffs, this conversation delivers a practical blueprint. Subscribe, share with your team, and leave a review with the one question you want us to roleplay next.

Building Wealth Through Construction with Paul Atherton

Saison 6 · Épisode 180

mercredi 27 août 2025 • Durée 01:04:32

Send us a text

Construction companies possess an extraordinary yet frequently overlooked opportunity to build substantial wealth—one that extends far beyond simply increasing revenue or improving profit margins.

Paul Atherton, founder of Highspire, reveals the powerful secret that separates thriving construction business owners from those merely keeping pace: leveraging construction expertise into strategic real estate development. As Paul explains, wealth creation happens through three primary channels—operating an efficient business, buying assets at advantageous prices, and adding value to those assets. While most industries might excel at one of these, construction companies are uniquely positioned to capitalize on all three simultaneously.

Highspire's approach centers on their "Four Cs" framework: Community that connects business owners with peers who've already achieved what they're aiming for; Content providing streamlined systems benchmarked from high-performing companies; Coaching that offers personalized guidance; and perhaps most critically, Capital—helping construction companies optimize their funding strategies and potentially raise capital from limited partners.

What makes this approach particularly compelling is how it transforms construction knowledge into a wealth-building superpower. Construction companies understand building science, estimate costs realistically, move quickly on deals, and possess extensive networks that can be leveraged for real estate opportunities. During recent market challenges, companies implementing this dual-focus strategy have consistently outperformed competitors by maintaining robust marketing and sales pipelines while optimizing their operations.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when addressing mental health across all levels of construction organizations. Paul advocates for a staff-first approach that helps team members create clear development paths—not just professionally but in all life domains from financial goals to family priorities. As he powerfully states, "Mental health is a commitment to reality at all costs."

Ready to transform your construction company into a wealth-building engine? Discover how your expertise could be the foundation for generational financial success by exploring Highspire's proven methodology.

From Dirty Jobs to Dignified Careers: Reimagining Construction Work with Ryan Englin, CEO at Core Matters

Saison 6 · Épisode 178

mardi 13 mai 2025 • Durée 01:00:39

Send us a text

The mental health crisis sweeping through construction has reached alarming proportions, with suicide rates among workers soaring to five times the national average. But what's driving this crisis, and why aren't more industry leaders talking about it?

Ryan Englin, a 15-year veteran consultant and author of "Hire Better People Faster," brings powerful insights into the hidden struggle of construction workers and the leadership failures that perpetuate it. After growing up with a blue-collar father but choosing a different path himself, Ryan offers a unique insider-outsider perspective on what's really happening on job sites across America.

"People don't leave jobs; people leave people," Ryan explains, challenging the common industry complaint that "nobody wants to work anymore." He highlights how construction companies frequently overlook fundamental human needs – from basic respect to social connection – that could transform their workforce challenges.

Beyond addressing mental health, the discussion dives into provocative territory about how the construction industry has failed to adapt to the changing workforce landscape. While knowledge-economy jobs evolved to offer remote work, flexibility, and clear advancement paths, many construction companies still operate on outdated models that fail to demonstrate they value their people. Ryan offers actionable strategies for construction leaders to create workplaces where people not only want to work but want to stay.

Whether you're a construction business owner struggling with retention, a field leader trying to build a stronger team, or simply interested in the future of the industry that builds our world, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and offer fresh perspectives on making construction careers both successful and sustainable. Listen now to discover how caring about your people might be the most profitable business strategy you're not yet implementing.

You Get the Culture You Deserve: Hard Truths for Leaders with John Nieuwenburg, W5 Business Coaching

Saison 6 · Épisode 177

vendredi 2 mai 2025 • Durée 59:37

Send us a text

Imagine mastering your craft for years, then discovering that running a business requires an entirely different skillset you never learned. That's the reality for thousands of construction business owners who find themselves trapped in what business coach John Neuenberg calls the "E-Myth" - the entrepreneurial myth that technical expertise automatically translates to business success.

Drawing from his experience coaching over 320 blue-collar businesses, John unravels why construction companies struggle to scale beyond the founding owner's capacity. The conversation explores a powerful framework: systems run the business, people run the systems, and the owner leads the people. Without this structure, construction companies find themselves perpetually putting out fires instead of building profitable operations.

The discussion dives deep into culture formation, revealing that "you don't get the culture you want; you get the culture you deserve." John explains how business owners who focus exclusively on customer acquisition while neglecting team development create fundamentally imbalanced companies. Through practical examples and compelling metaphors, he demonstrates why the complexity of relationships grows exponentially as teams expand - requiring systematic approaches rather than heroic individual efforts.

Whether you're running a thriving construction company or still working with "a truck and a helper," this episode provides invaluable guidance on building systems that scale, developing recruitment strategies that work, and maintaining your sanity along the way. Tune in to learn how to transform your construction business from dependent on you to working for you.

Carbon Revolution: Transforming the Building Materials Industry with Markus Kritzler, Chief Revenue Officer at Carbon Upcycling Technologies

Saison 6 · Épisode 176

vendredi 25 avril 2025 • Durée 50:19

Send us a text

The cement industry is at a crossroads. As global construction demands soar, so do the sector’s carbon emissions—contributing nearly 8% of global CO₂ output. But Markus Kritzler, Chief Revenue Officer at Carbon Upcycling Technologies, believes there’s a way to build a better future—literally.

Markus has found purpose in a game-changing innovation: a technology that transforms industrial waste into high-performance construction materials. Carbon Upcycling’s process reinvents how we think about byproducts like electric arc furnace slag, fly ash, and clay—infusing them with captured CO₂ to create powerful supplementary cementitious materials. The kicker? These materials can replace up to 40% of traditional cement—without compromising strength or performance.

What truly sets this solution apart isn’t just its environmental impact—it’s the business case. While many green alternatives come with a hefty price tag, Carbon Upcycling’s materials remain cost-competitive, making sustainability a smart financial choice too.

In this episode, Markus breaks down the cement manufacturing process, highlighting why it’s so emissions-heavy—and how Carbon Upcycling is flipping the script on carbon in construction. Want to learn how your next project can help combat climate change? Hit play now.

Building Better Construction Teams Through Strategic HR and Mentorship with Traci Austin, Chief Talent Officer at Elevated Talent Consulting

Saison 6 · Épisode 175

jeudi 17 avril 2025 • Durée 01:06:19

Send us a text

What if the key to solving your construction workforce challenges was hidden in plain sight? Tracy Austin, Chief Talent Officer at Elevated Talent Consulting and host of the People Strategy Podcast, reveals that the complaints you hear on job sites contain valuable information about what your team actually needs to succeed.

Traci offers a profound shift in perspective that can transform how construction leaders respond to workforce challenges. When companies learn to decode workers' complaints rather than dismiss them, they unlock powerful insights that lead to higher quality work, greater employee engagement, and significantly improved retention rates.

Drawing from her unique background, Traci bridges the gap between construction operations and people management. She outlines three core programs that help construction companies retain valuable talent: a structured mentorship program for the first 90 days, leadership development that empowers workers to take ownership over quality and teamwork, and strategic retention planning that includes one-on-ones and career pathing.

Austin addresses one of construction's most pressing challenges: bridging the generational divide between traditional "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality and younger workers seeking work-life balance. Her solution centers on creating clear, cascading goals that align individual aspirations with company objectives, allowing for flexibility in approach while maintaining commitment to shared outcomes. This alignment helps companies accommodate personal needs while ensuring project deadlines and quality standards are met.

For small construction companies without dedicated HR departments, Austin's "satellite HR" approach provides accessible expertise without the overhead of full-time specialists. This model helps even the smallest contractors implement professional people strategies that dramatically improve workforce stability. Ready to transform how your construction company retains its best people? This episode provides the blueprint you've been searching for.

Rescuing Architecture: Saving Homes From Demolition with Glyn Lewis, Founder at Renewal Development

Saison 6 · Épisode 174

mardi 8 avril 2025 • Durée 01:14:24

Send us a text

In this enlightening conversation, Glyn Lewis, Founder and CEO of Renewal Development, reveals the surprising economics behind home relocation: each rescued home contains 100 tons of raw materials and 23 tons of embodied carbon that would otherwise go to waste. His company operates as a comprehensive service provider—handling demolition contracts for developers, coordinating the complex logistics of moving structures, and renovating them to become energy-efficient, affordable homes in non-urban communities. The result? Housing that costs 40–60% less than new construction.

What makes this approach truly groundbreaking is how it transforms a wasteful process into a solution that addresses multiple crises simultaneously. While urban areas gain needed density, rural and First Nations communities receive quality, affordable housing. Historic craftsmanship and materials that couldn’t be replicated today are preserved rather than destroyed.

As Glyn puts it, "Renewal is a campaign disguised as a company"—a vision for reshaping how we build communities and value our existing resources. Listen now to discover how this innovative model could transform housing across North America, one rescued home at a time.

AI Agents: Transforming Construction's Future with Roberto Cervantes, CEO at Flowlly

Saison 6 · Épisode 173

jeudi 27 mars 2025 • Durée 22:55

Send us a text

Roberto Cervantes, CEO and co-founder of Flowlly, takes us on a fascinating journey into the world of AI agents for construction, revealing the crucial distinction between automation and true artificial intelligence. "Automation is a set of steps that are executed with no leeway to deviate," he explains, while AI brings the flexibility to navigate obstacles and find alternative paths to solutions.

The conversation uncovers a painful reality for many construction professionals - project managers trapped behind computers instead of being where they're most needed: on job sites. This observation became Flowlly's catalyst for creating AI solutions that handle the mundane document processing work that consumes valuable time. "My job is to be outside, not here in front of a computer," is the common refrain Roberto heard from construction managers, highlighting the urgent need for technological intervention.

We explore how AI is fundamentally changing our relationship with software. Rather than humans adapting to technology through clicks and manual inputs, Roberto envisions a future where technology adapts to us through natural, conversational interfaces. This shift represents a profound evolution - "Instead of us working for the software, the software is working for us." Yet amid this technological revolution, Roberto emphasizes that human connection remains irreplaceable, especially for building trust and relationships in construction. The greatest challenge isn't implementing AI but teaching people to critically evaluate its outputs rather than blindly accepting them. As Roberto warns, "The biggest risk is people being zombies, accepting everything the AI is putting out."

Ready to explore how AI agents could transform your construction workflow? Listen now to discover how the balance between technological efficiency and human oversight will shape the future of building.
