EPISODE 390: Are you constantly up at night thinking if your team has ordered the correct items? How do you have the confidence that things are getting done?

Most construction business owners spend their days chasing updates instead of leading their teams. If that sounds like you, then there’s a crucial piece missing from your operations: a single source of truth.

In this episode of The Construction Leading Edge, I’ll share a powerful story from my father-in-law’s time in the ICU and how it inspired a business revelation. It’s all about how one simple, centralized system can bring clarity, accountability, and peace of mind to your operation.

Why this system eliminates guesswork, micromanagement, and even sleepless nights
A real-world example of how one business turned chaos into control
What the “starving horse syndrome” is and how it’s quietly killing your results
The secret sauce to building a scalable construction business

…and a whole lot more.

If you’re tired of being the bottleneck in your business, this episode will show you how to get out of the weeds and build a business that runs on systems—not you.
