In this episode of Workforce Skills, John Morris delivers a blunt but necessary message as the holidays approach: slow the f* down**. From costly estimating mistakes and rushed jobsite work to emotional decisions that derail careers and lives, John explains why speed is often the enemy of success.

Drawing from real experiences in business, leadership, recovery, and workforce development, John breaks down the importance of quality over quantity, logic over emotion, and patience over pressure—especially for those rebuilding their lives after incarceration or addiction.

This episode is a reminder that real growth doesn’t happen overnight, mistakes multiply when we rush, and the best outcomes come when we take our time and do things the right way.
