In this episode, we sit down with Jeff Sample, longtime construction technologist and host of The ConTech Crew podcast, to talk about the challenges construction professionals face when adopting new tech. From the disconnect between flashy software and field usability, to the power of data-driven decision-making, Jeff shares hard-earned insights from a career spent bridging the gap between jobsite and back office. You’ll learn why "show me, don’t tell me" should be your mantra when evaluating tech, how to map processes before buying tools, and why trust in technology starts with solving real problems, not chasing the next shiny object.
Join us as we discuss:
[3:29] Why early construction software failed in the field
[19:18] How to vet software: “Show me, don’t tell me”
[23:24] Why IT leaders need to learn to “speak business”
[31:47] Building tech with field outcomes in mind
