  • #019 Building Skyscrapers With Wood Instead of Steel & Concrete

    In episode 10 we covered AI and the effect on the future of construction. In that episode we discussed the impact of 3D printing and whether or not that would be eliminating jobs for construction workers.

    The truth is that concrete has become a commodity. Every year the prices rise as it becomes less and less available. So much so that there is a concrete mafia! As governments and jurisdictions crack down on the extraction of sand from water ways to make concrete, how will we continue to build?

    The answer is with wood. There is a HUGE push to build with Mass Timber for MANY reasons. Cost, schedule, sustainability, renewable resources, CO2 emissions, etc.

    Listen to this episode to find out... for mass timber... what is mass timber, what are the cost and schedule advantages, who installs it, where has it been installed to date, what is the availability of the material, what are the environmental impacts, what the biophilic properties are, and more!

  • #013 - # 1 Way To Rise Faster In Your Career, Get Caught Doing This...

    Reality is not reality. Perception is reality. When it comes

    to your career you must always keep this in mind.

    In other words, people will create a perception of you, and

    it may not be justified or fair in your eyes. They may create a perception

    about someone else that may not be justified or fair either.

    Have you ever noticed people play favorites with people who

    don’t deserve it? Maybe it is your parents with your sibling, or maybe it is a

    sports coach, or teacher….or worst of all, your boss. We will all experience

    this at one point in our lives.

    In life we should not care what other people think. But in

    our careers, we should care deeply about what other people think. Because other

    people’s perception of us, directly correlates with our value, our

    compensation, and position.

    Ultimately you cannot control what other people think, BUT

    you can influence the heck out of them.

    One could teach an entire seminar on the different ways to

    do this, but for this blog I want to concentrate on one specifically.

    That is, showing up earlier, and leaving later…. than

    everyone.

    Now, the popular narrative today is “work life balance”.

    Which is fine, you can probably adequately do your job within the normal 8am –

    5pm window, and then you can enjoy your life.

    Do not misconstrue what I am saying, you should enjoy your

    life.


    But you should also seek any opportunity to separate

    yourself from the rest of the pack. There is a MASSIVE opportunity to do so, by

    simply being there outside of the normal 8-5 window.


    This opportunity is especially available to the young people

    out there. Without being married, having children, a mortgage, and all of the

    other responsibilities of adulthood in full swing, this is you time to take

    advantage of this opportunity!

    Most seasoned professionals I speak with have noticed that

    new hires today tend to make a habit of showing up late and leaving early. They

    think they are fooling someone when they say “there was an accident” on the way

    in. Or that they “have a doctor’s appointment”, or “need to take their car to

    the shop” or they “have a family event to go to”. At some point the excuses

    become too common.

    Eventually the truth is that they do not want to work the

    full day, they want to come and go as they please because they do not prioritize

    their job, the opportunity, or practicing the discipline required to maximize

    their production.

    That is large in part because they think the job is there to

    serve them, instead of them being there to serve the job.


    What many of us find hilarious is when these same people who

    leave early, stay late, they expect to be compensated for every minute that

    they spend past 5pm. Even when they are invited to a networking even with an

    open bar!

    Let me tell you this…stop seeking immediate compensation for

    this time. The compensation will come but will come at a much later date. Think

    of it this way, you are making a deposit…an investment that will be cashed in,

    at sometime in the future.

    When I was 22 years old working in NYC, I made a point of

    this. I wanted everyone to know that I would be there when they arrived, and I

    would still be there long after they left. Making that a habit helped forge

    several relationships that just recently allowed me to cash in on my

    investment!

    I saw 5:00pm – 10:00pm as my opportunity to knock out any

    tedious paperwork that I could not get to during the day and or be proactive on

    such tasks that were not “due” but that I knew would be a time suck later.


    Most importantly these were tasks that I knew would send

    notifications and/or emails to my team. Including my boss. At the time they were

    just a Project Manager.


    One night around 9:00pm, I was the only person in the

    office. Sending out my submittals per usual. I was working at a pace that meant

    another email or notification would go out to the team every 5-10 minutes. Steady

    from the 4:00pm hour.

    My phone rang. It was my project manager. I answered and they

    said, “um where are you right now”?


    I said, “I am working”.


    “Are you seriously still in the office?” they replied. they

    knew I was. I suspected that someone had seen me before they left late.


    “Yup still here, I just wanted to…” they cut me off.


    “Leave, go home. You don’t need to be doing that right now” they

    said.


    They briefly went on to explain the importance of work life

    balance. To which I replied, “I am ok, I don’t have anywhere to be, I want to

    get this done and over deliver”.


    Right then and there that set a perception. Was I working

    hard? Yes. Was I working longer hours than almost everyone? Yes. But what if they

    did not catch me? What if he had no idea? What if I made a mistake on something

    and they chalked it up to me lacking diligence or being lazy?

    Since then, they never had to question my work ethic because

    that was a habit that I developed and that they knew they could rely on. More

    importantly, my drive to over deliver did not just mean something to me, it

    meant something to her. That would only enhance her ability to shine as a

    manager. I became a valuable assert to her success. That is where you want to

    be!

    10+ years later when I need an advocate or a recommendation,

    do you think they hesitate to do so on my behalf? Of course not. The only

    difference now, is that advocacy is not coming from a project manager, it is

    coming from a Vice President. That is where they have ascended to since that

    night. That is a delayed return on my investment.

    Again, this was a habit. It is important to note, that was

    not just a one time occurrence. I did not stay late one time in my life and have

    it pay off. This was a habit I developed for YEARS. I would easily put in 60+

    hours a week on a regular basis. Again if nothing else, to be caught doing so.

    Let me give you another example.


    One night, I was doing the same thing, working late in NYC. Late

    enough that I thought I started to see ghosts. I saw a conference room light on,

    but I could not tell who was in there. Finally, after a few hours it opened. It

    was the Chief Operations Officer. On his way out the door he scrunched his

    eyebrows and looked up at me.

    “Burning the midnight oil, are we?”


    “Yes sir, someone has to get things done” I said.


    He asked what project I was on and said, “thank you”. I

    suspect he did so to ask who I was the following day.


    Fast forward 2-years later. I was in an office in Boston

    doing the same thing. Working late with one desk light on in an empty office.

    It was about 9:00pm. I heard the wood floor creaking like someone was walking

    toward me. I assumed it was a cleaner, until I heard a booming voice. There he

    was again, the Chief Operations Officer.

    “Mr. Eisenhauer are on you nights, or are you always working

    this late?”


    Again, caught in the act of doing what other people are not

    willing to do. Taking advantage of an opportunity to separate myself. To

    think…I was only caught because he forgot his coat before he left to take a high-profile

    client out to dinner. I did not even know he was in town.

    As a result of these occurrences, I always had this man as a

    mentor. When other people wished they could get face time with him, let alone

    have a positive interaction with him, he would make time for me.


    On several occasions he would spend 45 minutes to an hour on

    the phone with me, talking me through career options. When he would visit

    Boston he would sit down in a conference room with me, and take time out of a

    packed schedule, to tell me what he truly thought was best for me. Not

    necessarily the company.

    I know that my career has risen faster because of these

    types of relationships. These relationships that are predicated on a perception

    of value that others saw in myself.  I

    know that more people at high levels are aware of who I am and the value I

    bring, or at least the perception of the value that I bring to the table. I

    have been afforded amazing opportunities, far ahead of others at my age because

    of it.

    It is not a coincidence that I received midyear raises and

    bonuses in my early 20s when no other employees did. It is not a coincidence

    that I received opportunities to be a leader at an earlier age than other

    people did. It is not a coincidence that high level individuals showed

    gratitude and genuine interest and investment in the growth of my career. It is

    not a coincidence that I was always in the showcase.

    I am not saying that you must work your life away in order

    to achieve success. I am saying there is an opportunity there to put in the

    work, to put in the time, that other people are not willing to do.


    Not only is the opportunity easier to take advantage of

    early on in your career but the return on that investment will pay out much

    higher dividends in the long run.


    When it comes to creating a perception of exceptional value

    for yourself, 3 things are certain.


    1.      

    Your career will grant you more gratitude, present

    you with high profile opportunities, and provide you with a top tier salary…all

    far ahead of your peers, far ahead of the average bear.

    2.      

    You will develop long lasting discipline. Your

    half speed wil be better than other peoples full speed. You will have more accomplished

    by Tuesday than others will all week. In times of crisis or chaos, when others

    waver, you will continue to bring value. In other words, your worst day is

    still better than most people’s best days. People can count on you.

    3.      

    You will have freedom. Any doubt of the effort

    you put in will be eliminated. You will have an autonomy where people are not

    looking over your shoulder. Constantly checking in on you, counting the hours

    that you are at your desk. Because they know if you need to leave early today,

    or took a long lunch break, or had a fun day planned…you will do what ever it

    takes to get it done. Even if that means working through the night.

    That is how you obtain a career that you can be proud of.


    That is how you obtain an upper class lifestyle.


    That is how you obtain freedom.

  • #010 - Is A.I. & 3D Printing Taking Blue Collar Jobs?

    Will artificial intelligence and 3D printing replace humans? It is a very valid question! Through out our first 9 episodes we have received thousands of comments and messages regarding A.I.

    Some people feel as though this is the answer to the labor gap. Others feel as though they will replace humans entirely, making construction a poor choice for a career. Neither of these appear to be accurate!

    Whether you tare thinking about a career in construction or you are already in construction, the implementation of A.I. is something to get excited about!

    This should attract a new demographic of young people to the industry. There is no better industry to be at the fore front of technology. Construction is no longer just your "hands on", brute, ultra masculine type of work. There is tremendous opportunity for those who are interested in things like gaming, virtual reality, data analysis, etc. From using data analysis during preconstruction bidding and planning, to 3D design and coordination, to robotic and remote robotic equipment in the field the opportunity to use and develop pioneering technology is unlike any other industry!

    It should excited people already in the industry by lightening the load on people's body's and their minds. Jobsites will be safer, run more efficiently, have more complete and coordinated drawing sets, communicate more efficiently, all of which will reduce stress and ENHANCE your work experience.

    For decades the construction industry has revolved around people are constantly leveraging liability and risk as a top priority. People have been out there "trying not to lose the game". A.I. will enable the industry to become more proactive, productive, proficient, and PROFITABLE.


    Watch this episode and find out how A.I. will enhance your career in construction!


    P.S. - If and when artificial intelligence can capture the nuance of construction and replace humans, we as humans are obsolete anyway, and we have MUCH BIGGER PROBLEMS.

  • #004 - The COLLEGE INVESTMENT, Student Loan & Tuition Vs. Starting Salaries

    Before you decide what college you would like attend and before you decide what career you would like to pursue, you must evaluate the cost of the education vs the salary this will enable you to make.

    What does a college tuition cost? What will the student loan cost you each month for 30 years until it is paid off? How does the student loan interest rate effect that? What will your monthly budget look like after graduation? Is college the best option, or is a trade a better option?
