Ep.1220 - Why I Focus on People First
Why I Always Put People Before Profits (And You Should Too) In this episode, Jason Schroeder tackles the uncomfortable truth about how the relentless pursuit of efficiency is burning out our workforce, crushing trade partners, and putting entire projects at risk. He draws a powerful parallel to The Lorax and asks: “Who’s speaking for the trades?”
If you're a superintendent, project manager, or construction leader who’s tired of broken systems, stop scrolling and hit play now. Jason breaks down why focusing on people first isn’t just the right thing to do it’s the only way to build sustainable, high performing projects.
Expect raw insights, bold takes on CPM vs. Takt, and a call to challenge outdated thinking in construction.
