Jason interviews Brandon Montero about energy and high performance habits. High performance habits include seeking clarity, generating energy, raising necessity, increasing productivity, developing influence, and demonstrating courage. Brandon is excited about life itself, his amazing partner, the people he interacts with, and things on the horizon. Jason published the Elevating Construction Takt Planning book on audio for free and has a 68-page outline for the next superintendent book. The main topic is energy as the key to everything: movement, production, clean sites, and motivated teams. Brandon's challenge is to pave the way for energy with small steps like smiling, body language, and making personal connections.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• High performance habits: Seeking clarity, generating energy, raising necessity, increasing productivity, developing influence, and demonstrating courage
• Energy is the foundation: No movement or production without energy, applies to workers, teams, and job sites
• Paving the way: Small steps like smiling, eye contact, and personal connections create energy
• Jason's research lab example: Trailer, parking lot, fence, bathrooms, lunch room, and entrance all brought joy
• Brandon's pink phone strategy: Pave the way with things or actions so you have to have a good day
• Challenge: What are you doing to pave the path for energy and happiness? What waypavers are you creating?

No movement or production without energy. A worker with high energy produces more than a worker with low energy.
