Ep.1378 - Don’t Cut the Passion in your Pixar Planning & Reviews

Passionless Projects Fail. Don’t Let Yours Be One of Them.

In construction, critique is essential but cutting out the heart of a project in the name of safety or consensus? That’s how you kill innovation.

In Episode 1378 of the Elevate Construction Podcast, Jason Schroeder draws a bold parallel between Pixar’s recent failure with Elio and what’s happening on too many job sites: over-sanitized planning, zero boldness, and teams afraid to lead with vision.

Tune in to hear:

• Why PPC (Percent Plan Complete) is overrated and what actually drives performance.

• How over-engineering risk reviews can leave you with a “milk toast” project.

• The warning signs that your team is playing it too safe.

• A powerful reminder from a real-world, passion-filled project (BSRL) that broke the mold.

🔥 Fresh eyes reviews and critiques are vital but if you cut the passion, you cut the impact.

Listen now and keep your projects bold, beautiful, and builder-led.
