Ep.1122 - CPM is a Poison That Ruins Everything

In this podcast we cover:

• Why CPM Is a failed system.
• How pedaling it is like being a member of a drug cartel.

In this episode, I confront a hard truth about our industry: too many leaders still advocate for systems that harm people, especially CPM scheduling. I share why this approach is not just outdated but actively destructive, leading to unsafe practices, wasted resources, burnout, and broken trust. I connect how flawed systems, not flawed people, are the real root of our industry’s struggles, and why blaming workers misses the point. I draw bold comparisons to show just how harmful these methods can be, and I challenge leaders to stop normalizing practices that exploit rather than empower. If you are ready to rethink what you stand for in construction, this conversation will push you to take a stand.
