    What if the reason your team is stressed, your projects feel harder than they should, and your profits aren't where they should be has nothing to do with labor shortages, material pricing, the market, your subcontractors, or even your clients?

    Feb 16 2026

    If you've been listening to podcasts, reading books, going to conferences, and consuming business content for months, but your business still looks the same… this one's going to sting.

    In this episode of The Construction Leading Edge Podcast, I break down how construction business owners use podcasts, webinars and "research" as a way to numb the frustration of being stuck, instead of making the decisions that would actually change their business. I explain why waiting for perfect information is a myth, how indecision creates paralysis, and why the real risk isn't making the wrong move, it's making no move at all.

    This episode is especially valuable for those of you who are working 50, 60, even 70 hour weeks, those who know they need to hire, raise prices, systemize, or get help, but keep pushing the decision down the road in the name of being "responsible."

    Remember: you don't have a knowledge problem. You have an action problem.

    👉 Stop using information as a painkiller. It's time to take action. Tune in.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Information as a Pain Killer (00:00)
    • The Cost of Inaction (04:56)
    • Identifying and Addressing Inaction (11:40)
    • The Law of Diminishing Intent (18:05)
    • My Challenge for You (23:31)
    • Outro (35:03)

  • Nail the Handoff System: Build a Rock‑Solid Preconstruction Checklist Your Team Actually Follows | EP 430
    Feb 9 2026

    ☎️Schedule a Business Evaluation Call with The Construction Leading Edge Team HERE

    EPISODE 430:

    If your construction projects feel chaotic before they even start, the problem isn't execution, it's the handoff.

    In this episode of The Construction Leading Edge Podcast, I explain how a weak preconstruction handoff creates scope gaps, delays, missed details, and profit bleeds long before work begins. He breaks down why many builders rely on "figuring it out later," how urgency addiction keeps owners stuck in firefighting mode, and why starting jobs with incomplete information guarantees chaos in the field.

    You'll learn how to design a simple, practical preconstruction checklist that locks in decisions early, clarifies scope, and sets your team up for success from day one. I also share how to involve your team in building the process so it actually gets followed, not ignored.

    If you're a builder, remodeler, or general contractor who wants smoother projects, fewer surprises, and better margins, this episode will show you how to nail the handoff from office to field.

    🎧 Listen now and start eliminating chaos before the job starts.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Why Projects Feel Chaotic Before They Even Start (00:00)
    • The Hidden Problem: Urgency Addiction (05:30)
    • The Missing Phase Every Profitable Builder Obsessively Manages (10:45)
    • How to Design a Preconstruction Checklist Your Team Will Follow (15:00)
    • Nailing the Handoff from Office to Field (18:30)
