For the first time, we took The Periodic Burn out of the office and onto a jobsite.

This month, Zach sits down with Jared Mitchell to talk about what life in the field really looks like - the parts most of us never see.

From weeks spent on the road and hotel living to crew dynamics, gas station food rankings, and the little traditions that make a group of coworkers feel more like family, this conversation is less about turf and more about the people who build it.

We also get into:

What makes a great crew

• The unwritten rules of life on the road
  
  
• How field culture is built one project at a time
  
  
• Why the people beside you often matter more than the work itself
  
  
• And, of course, a few stories and laughs along the way
  
  

Whether you're in the office, on a jobsite, or somewhere in between, this episode is a reminder that every project is built by people first.
