What does it mean to truly give back to the construction industry? For Steve Yots, it’s not just about completing projects, it’s about shaping the next generation, one person at a time.

In this episode, Steve shares the powerful story of a $1.3B mega-project that redefined collaboration, trust, and flow. From creating unmovable milestones to writing “Work with Heart, Build with Care” on the tower crane, his approach turned a complex build into a masterclass in teamwork.

We talk about:

• Why the best way to change the industry is one life at a time.

• How to balance competition with genuine cooperation.

• The four daily questions that keep Steve focused on teaching, coaching, mentoring, and learning.

• Why showing up in person, unplanned can transform relationships.

• The hilarious (and effective) “Are You Ready for My Love?” shirt story.

If you want to lead with purpose, build high-performing teams, and leave the industry better than you found it, this is the episode for you.

🎧 Listen now and get inspired to make giving back part of your daily plan.
