Ep.1438 - Advice to the Rising Generation, Feat. Mark Story

There’s a common saying in construction: “You’re not doing your job unless your name’s on the porta john.” Jason and Mark Story break it down and break it apart. Disrespect is not a badge of honor. It’s a warning sign that leadership is failing.

Instead, they show how real leaders win trust and build high-performing jobs by supporting their teams, not fighting them.

You’ll hear field-tested stories of:

• Turning messy, conflict-heavy projects into stable, clean, and respectful jobsites.

• Why adding restrooms and daily worker huddles can instantly boost morale and productivity.

• How trades are already bending over backwards and what GCs must do to better support them

• Why “leadership” boils down to one thing: removing roadblocks so your people can succeed.

This episode is about more than porta john graffiti. It’s about flipping the culture of construction from disrespect to dignity, from chaos to flow.
