In this episode, David shares a story from his early days in construction where he learned two important lessons: construction is undefeated and the value of leadership. He recounts a project where the soil stabilization plan failed, leading to a $250,000 change order and a two-month delay. Despite being shut down by a representative from the developer, David's team stood up for him and recognized his knowledge and contribution.
