What is the difference between BD and Marketing, and how should they complement one another? Many construction companies get it wrong, and some don't even incorporate these efforts into their business.

Ronnie Brouillard and Taylor Tobin might have it figured out better than any tandem in the construction industry. These two have been a tandem with the general contractor, Chesapeake Contracting Group for five years, setting a high standard for professionalism in their crafts. Ronnie (BD) and Taylor (Marketing) are in lock-step with their efforts and will show us how to learn from their model.

We welcome them to The Morning Huddle to share their strategies with our audience in a fun and educational discussion.

The Morning Huddle is back for season 3, starting on Tuesday, September 13th! We'll be running every week for three months at 9:00 AM Eastern. Join us!!!

Improving contractor procurement must remain close to the top of the list in our search for positive change. George Nash joins us to share his personal experience in 35+ years with traditional versus alternative procurement methods. We'll talk about what has worked and what hasn't, and we hope to inspire you to lead positive change in contractor procurement wherever you are in the construction industry!

In what has always been a high-pressure industry, now more than ever, teams in the building industry are facing breaking points and burnout. Everyone seems to be too busy, feeling overwhelmed, and can barely keep up with the fires from day to day. It's not sustainable and an industry with a poor quality of life won't attract the bright young people we need for the next generation.

Rex Miller joins the huddle to talk about creating and maintaining healthy construction teams that place an emphasis on mental health and wellness. Rex is passionate about helping leaders transform "the grind" into an inspired performance that leads to more energy rather than burnout. His experience with construction professionals in particular makes him a perfect fit for this discussion.

In the commercial, industrial, and multifamily construction segments, companies have the chance to work together repeatedly. As such, maintaining strong relationships with customers and service providers alike is a great strength for the companies that do it well.

Matt Bolyard joins The Huddle to talk about the value of strong relationships between GCs and Owners, and the service-oriented mindset he and the Southway Builders team use to create lasting partnerships with their customers.

Since most office-based workforce was forced into working from home over two years ago, many theories have been swirling around about "the future of the office". While the debate isn't entirely settled, today it at least seems clear that offices will indeed continue to exist and play an essential role for most companies.

Kelly Ennis is a workplace strategist and the Founding Principal of The Verve Partnership, an interior architecture/design firm. Kelly joins the huddle to share her expert views on the future of the office and what that could mean for the construction industry in terms of trends in the types of construction projects we'll see in the office market sector, and other related topics.

Of all the ways the building industry is innovating and evolving, the use of modular construction methods is perhaps the most practical and promising way to increase efficiency in the field.

Nancy Novak joins The Morning Huddle to talk about her experience with Modular Construction in her role as the Chief Innovation Officer at Compass Datacenters where she brings immense experience as a General Contractor to perhaps the most forward-thinking sector in the construction industry.

Nancy's passion for creating positive change in the industry will inspire you to start thinking differently about what is possible no matter what market sectors you build in.

Not many people in the construction tech community started in the industry with a shovel in their hands like Duane Gleason. After spending several years on the physical end of construction, Duane began to master the digital side of the business.

Today, he works for Trimble, an industry-leading construction technology company as the Program Director for Connected Construction. He joins The Morning Huddle to talk about how construction companies can leverage technology to build better, more profitable projects.

No pie in the sky theoreticals here, just real examples of things companies can do immediately to drive a better result using the right technology to build their projects digitally AND physically.

The construction industry needs skilled tradespeople and not enough young people are entering the workforce with the skills we need right out of school. However, training the workforce poses significant time and financial challenges.

Chris Bybee and his company, Interplay Learning, are working to address those challenges by bringing an immersive VR training platform to the trades. Chris joins The Morning Huddle to talk about what his company and others like it are doing to close the skilled trades gap in our industry.

For more than 25 years, Mark Perna has been empowering educators and employers to unlock the tremendous promise of the younger generations. He regularly speaks to audiences of CEOs about it, and he wrote about it in his best-selling book "Answering Why: Unleashing Passion, Purpose, and Performance in Younger Generations".

Inside construction companies there can be a clash between "old school" cultures and the young people joining them. This clash can lead to companies failing to retain youth and missing out on the massive potential they can bring.

Mark joins The Morning Huddle to discuss how construction companies can strike the right balance of retaining the positives of their culture while engaging the power of the latest generation entering the workforce.

Our workforce is in dire need of capable, passionate young people with technical education applicable to careers in construction. Amy Rock is one person delivering that to Prince George's County Maryland and the surrounding region.

She joins The Morning Huddle to share success stories from her school district and help the construction community understand how they can be a part of the solution.
