Ep.1405 - The Wrong Questions, w/ Jake & Jason

Leadership, Laughter & Lessons From the Jobsite (with Jake Smaellie)

What do kids on cruise ships, paper straws, and water bottles on construction sites have in common?

In this episode, Jason Schroeder and returning guest Jake Smaellie connect the dots in a way only they can with humor, real-life stories, and hard-hitting leadership lessons.

You’ll hear:

• Why asking the wrong questions as a leader can destroy trust faster than any mistake.

• How to give feedback without shutting down communication.

• The power (and danger) of public praise when it’s misunderstood.

• Jake’s battle against the plague of discarded water bottles and some creative (and hilarious) solutions.

• How small actions, like really listening, can completely change a team’s dynamic.

It’s equal parts comedy, chaos, and practical takeaways you can use to lead better whether you’re running a crew, a company, or just your own household.

Listen now, you’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll probably never look at a plastic water bottle the same way again.
