Been gone for a few months so this is an update to what's up and what's on the mind. A look now at what I have coming up.

This week I hit on a few points about communication trickery and being prepared for the known and unknown at work and outside in the world. Too many times we just breeze over or by something and don't address it. Every time we do that we change the culture on our projects, email me to leave comments or topic ideas at nitropowerhour@gmail.com .

This week I had grand plans to go down a road about diplomas and called an audible, shifting to diplomacy and safety. Too many times we just breeze over or by something and don't address it.

Fixed the audio so it is better than the last one, just like you trying the figure this out, I am trying to figure out audio and recordings so thanks for hanging in there with me on this adventure. This one I get into Side Hustles and the hidden dangers that lurk around you trying to entice you to fail, I talked about working on being better this last half of 2021 and some things I am going to try to better as well to finish up this year.

Been out grinding for a buck like the rest of you. Intro music is new and something I am messing with from scratch, the first part is audio from my helmet cam on a job a few years ago, highlighting some of the daily conversations we should all be having on the site everyday. Sat down with a Super to hear their take on a recent training class, we talk about schedules, communications and a funny story about WD-40. nitropowerhour@gmail.com also kicked off LinkedIn just for the hell of it, as we all know how I feel about that space just so we can see how long before I get booted from there worst case, best case is we help some people get a little better in the craft of managing contracted chaos.

This week it's time to kick the schedule dog again to get out side and chase some cars. Nothing we do is new, it has all been done before. The difference that separates the good ones from the not so good ones, is who is willing to put in the work. I will give you enough to seek out on your own, so you can think and act independently and as a stand alone Superintendent. What you do with it will depend on you. Email questions or topic ideas or slanderous remarks to me at nitropowerhour@gmail.com, I may read them if they are funny or overly critical.

There are many types of people that can be a Superintendent, some have it easier than others because of their natural born traits and some have to work harder on things they are lacking.

This weeks episode is not for the snowflakes, from the bunker, I talk more about the big picture and strategy in making look ahead schedules and running the job site. We dabble in the dark art; such as the of use of spies and manipulations all, to do the right thing. We bounce around the book the Art of War and I share with you a sliver of the value I get from it. Amazing that book from over 3000 years ago, can be applied to todays day to day. The book version I discussed were from Anthony Cummins, which you can find on Amazon.

This week as we all are hiding out in our bunkers waiting for the world to end, with all the TP that has ever been produced on the planet. I sit here hunkered down behind the vault door pondering life, work, schedules and where the hell is Tom Hanks at. Schedules as I am discovering come easier to me than other, only because I have been at this madness for 20 years. I discuss the logic in getting a schedule started, things I look for, timelines I have had historically on projects and some ideas on how to expand on my logic in making schedules. I am not going to do it for you but I damn sure am pointing you in the right direction if you're paying attention.

Every Superintendent should be equipped with the basic set of protective gear as well as the miscellaneous tool to perform checks and reporting.

We discuss, what should be in your pockets as well as why your routine should be like as you tackle the issues through out the day.

Good, Fast or Cheap, everyone one wants it but is it really possible? Some of my thoughts on who plays a role in that idea on a project and some ways to rope the unicorn. We take an example from the start of a ground up project and the contractors involved at the beginning to explain out the good, fast, cheap logic. Also the discussion turns to how a Superintendent can affect this 3 point idea. Follow me on Instagram and Facebook @nitropowerhour
