Ep.1060 - The Power of “Who”s and Delegation

In this podcast we cover: Getting the right “Who”s. Forcing yourself to delegate and automate In this episode, Jason shares a powerful lesson about delegation, systems, and the importance of finding the right whos in your life and business. Inspired by the book Who Not How by Dan Sullivan, Jason explains why doing tasks yourself may feel faster in the moment but holds you back in the long run. He shares personal stories about training his assistant, building automation into his workflows, and how creating standard systems has freed him to focus on higher-value work. Jason also shows how this principle applies at home, where finding the right whos can ease stress and create more time for family and meaningful activities. This episode challenges you to rethink how you spend your time, embrace the extra effort it takes to delegate properly, and discover the freedom that comes from having capable people and strong systems in place.

Ep.1058 - Its Hard to See Stability

In this podcast we cover: Your most stable areas of the project may be your best ones. ⁠The squeaky wheel getting the grease does not mean its a good tire. ⁠How you can evaluate your organization and assess your best and most chaotic players. In this episode, Jason shares why stability is one of the hardest things to recognize in leadership and why it is so vital to success in construction. Using the example of his colleague Carol Zamora, he highlights the qualities of level five leadership and how quiet, humble stability creates strong systems and lasting results. Jason explains why organizations often undervalue stabilizers, reward firefighters, and unintentionally create chaos. He challenges leaders to shift their focus away from noise and drama and instead recognize, protect, and reward the people who bring order and flow. This episode is a reminder that in construction, boring is beautiful and stability is the key to finishing strong.
