Why Construction Is Losing the Next Generation - Fred Mills

Fred Mills is the founder of The B1M, the world's largest YouTube channel dedicated to construction and infrastructure, a construction media pioneer, and author of the new book Mega Builds. He quit his job in construction the same week his son was born to build a media company nobody believed in — editing videos in hospital while his wife slept after giving birth. He reveals why the construction industry's mental health crisis isn't a people problem — it's a systems problem — and why the stories being left untold about the world's greatest projects are costing the industry an entire generation of talent.
