Five Days in Switzerland Changed Everything w/ Shay Stutsman – DT 457

Shay Stutsman is the owner of Stutsman Gerbaz Earthmoving, a third-generation excavation and site work company based in Aspen, Colorado, and one of the most forward-thinking contractors in America. He flew to Switzerland to spend five days watching a single company work — and came home and changed everything. He reveals why American contractors have a productivity problem disguised as a labor problem — and why the companies still doing things the way they did them ten years ago are running out of time.

Why Great Construction Starts Below Ground w/ Jonathan Pease (DT 455)

Jonathan is the founder of Rock Solid Stabilization & Reclamation, a nationwide specialty contractor. He stumbled into soil stabilization after watching a fly ash demonstration two weeks before bidding a car dealership job — and turned a niche no one wanted into one of the most in-demand specialties in modern site work. He reveals why every road, parking lot, and data center in America is only as good as the dirt underneath it — and why the industry is still barely scratching the surface of what stabilization can do.

Why Small Business Beats the Corporate Ladder w/ Matt Moldenhauer – DT 452

Matt Moldenhauer is a Partner at Elmore Companies and a former Bain & Company consultant who left the 34th floor of a Chicago high-rise to run a logging company in rural South Carolina. He walked away from the corporate ladder the same year he was offered everything it promised — and spent seven years building one of the fastest-growing logging and wood supply companies in the region. He reveals why small business is the most underrated vehicle for building wealth in America — and why the construction industry is sitting on one of the biggest untapped acquisition opportunities in the country.

Dragging Construction Into the Future - Tristan Wilson  ( DT 450)

Tristan Wilson is the founder of Edgevanta, an estimating automation software built for civil contractors, a former road construction operator, and author of a weekly newsletter covering construction technology and industry trends. He spent years on paving crews watching estimators hand-enter numbers into spreadsheets and wonder why nobody had fixed it yet — so he built the fix himself. He reveals why construction tech keeps failing contractors, why the industry is at a once-in-a-generation inflection point, and what it actually takes to drag one of the oldest industries in the world into the future.

Why Construction Is Losing the Next Generation - Fred Mills

Fred Mills is the founder of The B1M, the world's largest YouTube channel dedicated to construction and infrastructure, a construction media pioneer, and author of the new book Mega Builds. He quit his job in construction the same week his son was born to build a media company nobody believed in — editing videos in hospital while his wife slept after giving birth. He reveals why the construction industry's mental health crisis isn't a people problem — it's a systems problem — and why the stories being left untold about the world's greatest projects are costing the industry an entire generation of talent.
