Ep.1418 - Trust, Feat. Mark Story
What’s the one thing that can make or break every project? Trust.
In this episode, Jason sits down with the man, the myth, the legend Mark Story to dive deep into the real foundation of successful construction teams: creating an environment where people feel safe to share, collaborate, and grow.
We talk about why trade partners often arrive with skepticism, how past project trauma carries into new jobs, and what leaders can do to set the mood on site. From debriefs that actually build confidence, to enabling teams to own their plans (instead of being micromanaged), Mark shows us how to replace fear with accountability rooted in trust.
If you’ve ever wondered how to stop finger-pointing, unlock true collaboration, and transform a jobsite into a learning system where every trade wins, this conversation is for you.
Listen in and challenge yourself: What are you doing right now to build trust with your team and trade partners?
