Being human means you are going to go through life with strengths and weaknesses; it doesn’t matter who you are. You don’t have to let those weaknesses stop you from achieving success. Logan’s guest today is Shawn Van Dyke, a contractor business coach, author of 2 best-selling books, and an international keynote speaker for construction groups all over the world. Shawn started as an engineer, quickly moving into project management for large contractors where he was able to see all the trades work together.
