Jason takes a quick podcast to fully endorse WhatsApp as the best communication app for scaling teams, cultures, and project sites. He walks through his personal journey from text chains at the BSRL research lab, to GroupMe with Carlos, to being one of the early Microsoft Teams adopters at DPR with Spencer Easton in Oakland, all the way to his current standard: WhatsApp for everything from construction project teams to international clients to church leadership groups. He also connects this to Paul Akers's principle that you can't scale a lean culture without easily sharing pictures and videos of what bugs you, and what's working.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why WhatsApp beats GroupMe, Teams chat, and text strings for daily project communication

• How WhatsApp lets new members join a chat and see the full history without losing anything

• Why the rest of the world already uses WhatsApp at infrastructure scale

• How pictures, videos, voice notes, and polls inside one app accelerate culture building

• Why Paul Akers's "see and fix what bugs you" requires a media first communication tool

Get the app, run the experiment, and start scaling pictures and videos through your teams. That's how culture actually moves.
