Urgency isn't rushing, it's caring enough to act now, because every day we wait exposes the project to more waste, more weather, more damage, more variation, and more risk. In this episode, Jason unpacks why "a good plan violently executed today is better than a perfect plan next week," and connects urgency to what superintendents and project leaders are really responsible for: moving the job forward, protecting the team, and preventing small problems from becoming project-killers. Through real stories from tearing out a bad wall immediately to watching projects flip in a day when the right leader steps in he makes the case that systems matter, but urgency is the spark that makes the systems work.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why waiting exposes projects to more waste, damage, weather risk, and schedule loss and why acting now reduces the "time under fire"
• How urgency protects quality at the source: fix it now, don't push it downstream to the customer
• The difference between a good plan executed today vs. chasing the perfect plan next week and how overthinking creates delays
• What urgency looks like in leadership: driving standards, running meetings, holding accountability, and responding fast when issues show up
• Why passion and urgency can't be installed from the outside and how to find mentors, environments, and habits that bring it back

Where are you waiting for the "perfect plan," when what your project really needs is a good plan and the courage to execute today?
