In this final episode of the Lean experiment series, Jason Schroeder and Jake Smalley unpack the "secret sauce" behind repeatable success on a jobsite. They reflect on how culture, transparency, humanity, and unwavering standards created a team environment where people felt heard, protected, and motivated to win together. From listening deeply to owners and craft workers to building trust, setting systems on autopilot, and enforcing zero-tolerance safety, this conversation reveals what truly sustains performance under pressure. If you've ever wondered what separates a stressful project from a proud one, this episode brings it all together.
