Ep.1403 - Training & Development, Feat. Mark Story

The Secret to Skyrocketing Your Career? Stop Waiting for Permission.

Too many construction professionals wait for their company to invest in their growth only to watch their careers stall. In this episode, Jason Schroeder sits down with master builder, mentor, and leadership coach Mark Story to flip that mindset on its head.

Mark reveals why owning your own development whether through books, mentorship, or personal investment pays off in influence, salary, and career opportunities. You’ll hear:

• How to mentor young superintendents so they’re confident, capable, and ready for leadership.

• The “risk timeline and risk level” framework that tells you when to ask for help and when to push through.

• Why trust is the bedrock of high-performing teams (and exactly how to build it).

• The one challenge every construction professional should take on today to boost their skills and value.

Whether you’re leading crews, managing projects, or just starting out, this conversation will change the way you think about training, mentorship, and taking ownership of your future.
