In this episode, we wanted to do something a little different—and honestly, a lot of fun. We posted our signature megaphone question out to the construction community:
“If you had 60 seconds to speak to the entire industry, what would you say?” What came back was a flood of insights, rants, encouragement, and reality checks from folks across the field. From how we pay people to how we treat each other, and even how we sketch out ideas—this one’s packed with voices that matter. 

00:30 – What's a Megaphone Question, Anyway?
A quick explainer of the idea and how the construction community showed up to respond.

Why paying contractors on time is more than good practice—it’s survival for many in the trades.

05:08 – Enjoying the Process, Not Just the Win
What if the key to success is being the person others actually want to work with?

07:11 – Know Your Worth and Don’t Get Steamrolled
The real cost of being undervalued—and how to draw the line without losing your edge.

08:49 – Continuous Improvement Over Shiny Tools
Construction needs more than new machines and software. It needs a culture of iteration.

10:01 – Sketch Before You Solve
Sometimes the fastest way to clarity is with a pencil, a napkin, and a good old-fashioned sketch.

12:05 – Should We Reinvent or Refine Our Workflows?
A back-and-forth on whether digital transformation means rebuilding from scratch—or just tweaking what's already there.

14:35 – Breaking the Low-Bid Mentality

18:22 – Leading Like Someone’s Watching (Because They Are)
We’re all setting examples—whether we realize it or not. Act accordingly.

20:09 – Construction Careers Go Beyond the Jobsite
Highlighting the essential support roles that keep projects moving—and often get overlooked.

22:14 – Four Pillars: Communication, Respect, Merit, and Tech
A framework for better team dynamics and culture, from phone calls to field collaboration.

31:01 – Don’t Trust Cost-Cut Claims Without Receipts
When someone offers a “money-saving” change, demand a side-by-side breakdown before approving it.

32:36 – Invest in the Team, Reap the Results
Why training, supporting, and empowering your crew is the best ROI in the business.

33:26 – Experience Over Degrees on the Jobsite
Reconsidering the four-year requirement—especially for field leaders who’ve earned their stripes.

34:10 – There’s No One “Best”—Just Smart Options
Most choices in construction have trade-offs. Focus on outcomes, not labels.

34:46 – 90% of Problems? Solved with Communication
Direct, empathetic conversations fix more issues than you’d think. The other 10% is scheduling.

35:22 – Wrapping Up: So Many Voices, One Industry

Go build something awesome!
