Our guest, Lee Evey, was the program manager of the Pentagon Renovation from 1997 - 2002. When Lee arrived on the Pentagon project, it was in chaos. He tells us about how he got offered the job, his first day on site, and how he was able to rally the troops around one singular purpose.

Here are some facts about the project - 

- $1.22 Billion budget from congress to renovate all 5 wedges of the pentagon

- 25,000 people working in the building, who could not be disturbed.

- 4,000,000 lbs of asbestos per wedge

- A national tragedy happened on site.

You’re going to hear very little from us during this interview. We were so interested in what he was saying, we just let Lee go and tell us what he wanted to tell us. When you get in a room with someone like Lee -- You shut up and listen. 

Thanks for joining us this week!
