What's really holding construction back, the lack of tech, or the lack of truth?
In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Jason sits down again with Charles McKenna to take on some of the hardest questions in the industry: Why are we so slow to adopt technology? Why do so many tools make life harder instead of easier? And how did we go from the most productive generation in history to one that's proud not to learn?
This is not your typical "innovation in construction" talk. Jason and Charles dig into:
Why software companies are chasing investors instead of improvement.
How America's "money first" mindset is destroying quality.
The myth of "too many apps" and why refusing to learn is killing growth.
The real reason behind the trades shortage (and it's not what you think).
Why general contractors, not trades, hold the key to fixing the system.
Jason pulls no punches. From tech burnout to cultural decline, from immigration policy to jobsite respect, this episode challenges every leader to face the uncomfortable truth: we've lost our discipline to learn, our courage to stop bad systems, and our respect for people.
If you care about the future of construction, this is the conversation you can't afford to skip.
Listen now. Get uncomfortable. Get inspired. And start building better.
