Before 7:00 a.m., your day is already won—or lost. In this kickoff to Hard Hat Headspace, we step onto the jobsite with a foreman who turns a shaky morning into a smooth-flowing shift using a two-minute huddle, a visible plan, and a no-drama constraint log.

Keeping with the foundation of The NEXT Academy, this episode is backed by insights from FMI, McKinsey, and Harvard Business Review. You’ll get field-ready tactics (3W1H, make-ready checks, quick visual boards) that boost productivity, safety, and morale. If you lead crews—foremen, supers, or craft pros—this episode is your playbook to win the day before it starts. #BeNEXT
