Is "constructive criticism" really constructive or is it just disguised negativity? Jason takes a bold stance in this episode: criticism should not exist.

Instead, he unpacks the difference between criticism and feedback for improvement and why only one of them builds people up, drives growth, and creates healthier cultures in construction and beyond.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why criticism damages trust, triggers ego, and stalls progress.

• The clear definition of feedback for improvement and why it works.

• How servant leadership rejects punishment and embraces growth.

• Why respecting people means replacing blame with actionable guidance.

• How shifting from criticism to feedback transforms teams, prisons, even society.

This isn't just about construction. It's about how we treat each other as humans. If we want a better industry and a better world, we need to stop tearing people down and start helping them improve.

Listen in, and let's build cultures that elevate people instead of discarding them.
