When a team has "a way out," they stay half-committed—and projects drift into delay, drama, and complacency. In this episode, Jason explains the "death ground" strategy: create a clear, urgent milestone that forces alignment, healthy conflict, and real accountability. You'll hear jobsite examples and the story of Cortez "burning the ships" to show why removing crutches creates focus, momentum, and results without last-minute burnout. If you want your team to fight three times harder and stay on schedule, this is the playbook.
What you'll learn in this episode:
Where do you need to remove the crutch so your team has no option but to commit and win?
