Most construction professionals are trying to lead jobs, teams, and meetings while quietly carrying unresolved tension at home and it spills into everything. In this episode, Jason Schroeder sits down with Brandon Montero for a direct, practical conversation about intimacy, emotional connection, and why "hoping it gets better" isn't a strategy. They break down what intimacy really is (beyond sex), how resentment forms, and how intentional daily connection can rebuild trust and closeness. If you want to be stronger at work, start by getting healthier at home.

What you'll learn in this episode:

· Why intimacy is relevant to construction professionals and performance on the job

· How to build connection throughout the day so intimacy doesn't feel transactional

· The difference between obligation, giving, and resentment in relationships

· Practical ways to communicate needs (including love languages) without guessing

· Why leaving your relationship "to chance" creates predictable consequences

If your relationship is too important to "wing it," what would change this week if you treated connection like a real priority instead of a hope?
