EPISODE 415: Do you always feel like you're constantly putting out fires, drowning in details, and barely keeping your construction business afloat? It doesn't always have to be that way.

In this episode of the Construction Leading Edge podcast, I sat down with Tod Ingersoll, founder and president of NuWood Creations, who scaled his company from doing small projects to 7-figure design-build jobs by doing something most contractors avoid—letting go.

Today, we'll talk about…

The unspoken rule that separates thriving construction businesses from overwhelmed ones
Why "just enough to start" is sabotaging your growth and profits
How Lean manufacturing tactics transformed Tod's operations
The real power behind pre-construction planning
Why doing less yourself creates more for your construction business

..and more!

If you're overworked and stuck in survival mode, this episode will give you the roadmap on how to scale without burnout.
