  • Episode 7: Breaking Barriers WIC
    2025/04/03
    Episode Description In this episode, Taylor and Hector dive into the challenges women face in construction — from being one of the few on site to navigating discrimination, lack of proper PPE, and the isolation that comes with breaking into a male-dominated industry. Taylor shares her personal story of choosing engineering despite being told she’d never make it, and together they explore the real barriers women encounter on jobsites every day. With data, lived experience, and practical steps for both individuals and companies, this conversation goes beyond awareness and pushes for real culture change.

  • Episode 6: Construction Burnout
    2025/03/26
    Episode Description In this comeback episode, Taylor and Hector dive into one of the biggest threats to worker well-being and project performance: burnout. After a month-long break filled with conferences, program launches, and pure overwhelm, they’re back with a raw, honest discussion on why burnout is so rampant in construction. They unpack the five stages of burnout, why construction is particularly vulnerable, and the physical and mental toll it takes on tradespeople. Taylor opens up about her own recent burnout experience, while Hector shares insights from the field. From recognizing symptoms to setting boundaries and building better leadership culture, this episode covers practical steps individuals and companies can take to push back against burnout — and why it matters more than ever.

  • Episode 5: The Construction Workforce Crisis
    2025/02/19
    Episode Description The construction industry is facing a major workforce crisis. Since 2011, the workforce has only grown 33%, while spending on construction has skyrocketed by 173%. With record-high job openings, high turnover, and an aging workforce, companies are struggling to keep projects moving. In this episode, we break down:✔ Why we’re struggling to attract younger workers.✔ Why workers are quitting faster than we can replace them.✔ Why we can’t meet growing industry demand. We’ll explore real-world challenges, industry data, and solutions that can help companies retain workers, build a pipeline of new talent, and stabilize the industry. Key Points The Workforce Crisis – Setting the Stage Workforce growth hasn’t kept up with industry demand. Companies struggle to fill open positions, leading to delays. An aging workforce isn’t being replaced fast enough. Why We’re Not Attracting the Next Generation Construction isn’t seen as a desirable career. Most enter through connections—are the connections advocates or deterrents? Gen Z values work-life balance and social responsibility. Early outreach, industry rebranding, and culture shifts are key. Why We’re Losing Workers Faster Than We Can Replace Them High turnover and disengagement hurt retention. Stress, lack of flexibility, and poor work-life balance push workers out. Retention improves with better leadership, mentorship, and flexibility. Why We Can’t Meet the Demand Experienced workers are retiring faster than replacements enter. Productivity suffers when knowledge isn’t passed down. Mentorship, and tech adoption can help. Takeaways Construction’s challenge is retention, not just hiring. Delays, rising costs, and safety risks will worsen without change. Investing in mentorship, valuing workers, and improving culture is critical. One Action You Can Take Have one conversation on your jobsite about what’s keeping workers in construction—or making them leave.
