The book had a powerful impact on Connor, overlapping with a number of themes that had been on his mind since leaving Intel and starting up Relevate. In this episode, recorded earlier in 2022, Connor and Bob speak for the first time in a fascinating exploration of why the concept of caring for people is particularly pertinent in the resource-focused world of construction.
