This week on the podcast, we have a remarkable guest: Joe Flores, a seasoned leader with over 30 years of construction experience and currently the President of Cooper General Contractors in Plano.

When Rachel Kennedy (E053) suggested that we ask Joe to join us on the podcast, she gave him this intro:

"Joe is an Aggie that came up through the Project Management route before transitioning to lead HR, and eventually taking over Safety, Risk, Legal, and more. He feels most at home with muddy boots, connecting with people, and finding ways to positively impact their lives."

That's perfect. Though Kevin and Stewart both knew Joe prior to this conversation, and their time spent with him affirmed the stories they had heard over the years. Joe is not just a leader; he's a leader who deeply cares about people and is eager to invest his time in helping others move their mountains.

In this week's episode, you'll have the opportunity to learn about Joe's remarkable journey, his insights into effective leadership, and how he's built a reputation for making a positive difference in the lives of those he encounters.

As Scott Reames, the keeper of Nike’s history for three decades, recounts, "a day in 1977 when [Rob] Strasser was purportedly in a fit of pique that employees were losing sight of the company’s values, he stormed into his office and pounded out on his typewriter what became a list of 10 bullet points that he felt were the central core of who/what Nike was. He slammed the sheet of paper on the copying machine, made dozens of duplicates and then taped them on office doors and put them on cubicle desks all over the building."

This week, Kevin and Stewart circle back to the list to discuss the ten principles at Nike, assess their corporate viability, and weave in and out of application scenarios for the construction industry.  As you listen, figure out where you can take action on one of these principles and turn the dial somewhere in your life to continue the journey of accomplishing something great.

In this "topics" episode, Kevin sits down with Todd Holtz, VP of Operations with TEXO, who has nearly thirty years experience in safety, the last 7.5 of which have been with TEXO.  So naturally, Kevin and Todd talk about the vast safety offerings that TEXO has for its members, chat about safety trends in the construction industry (such as fall protection and heat stress), and discuss there construction safety is still missing the mark.
