Fancy a little resilience in your work life? Join us, Carolyn and Joshua McMahon, as we unearth the trials and triumphs of the construction industry. We're sharing gritty, firsthand accounts from our days in the trenches, like that time we dealt with a team member who up and quit with just a three-hour heads up. It's a raw peek into the bumps and disruptions that are all part and parcel of our dynamic industry. 

Listen, as we recount how we rallied our team in the face of unexpected turmoil, emphasizing the importance of collective contribution over individual gain. Let's get real about the implications of overpaying employees during the COVID era, and how we, as a company and as individuals, punch back when adversity strikes. You're in for an enlightening conversation that underscores the necessity of being open-minded and adaptable, in life and in the construction industry.

Let's not shy away from discussing the nitty-gritty. From managing a construction schedule, to handling customer indecision, we've weathered it all. We bring to you, our insights on how crucial communication is in this field, and how we've learned to be comfortable in the ever-evolving world of construction. We've got stories about tough management decisions, being transparent about our successes and failures, and how we've maneuvered through these challenges. Join us to understand the reality of the construction industry, and pick up some nuggets of wisdom on how to thrive within it.
