What happens when a superintendent builds the hospital… and years later, his own daughter becomes a patient there? In this unforgettable episode, Jason sits down with one of his all-time favorite humans: Jake Smaellie, a master builder with a story that will hit you right in the gut. From healthcare construction to personal healing, Jake opens up about:   The emotional moment he walked his daughter into an MRI room he built. Why cleaning jobsite bathrooms (yes, really) sets the tone for leadership. The power of saying “good morning” and how it's a secret weapon for team culture. His incredible 180-pound weight loss and training for a 200-mile bike ride. How to lead by example, not by title. Funny. Raw. Inspiring. This is more than construction, it's a masterclass in humility, grit, and taking care of people.

For the next several episodes we are going to be jumping into a series on how to REVIVE your life and business through facing the spiritual forces that we come against as believers. Scripture is FULL of references to unclean spirits and we are given insight on how to effectively battle these forces, but in today's modern culture we have all but forgotten the importance of standing strong in the Lord so He can fight these forces on our behalf. If you feel like you are facing opposition, discouragement, doubt, an unnatural amount of struggle, insecurity, or attacks in your business, then there is a spiritual force at play. While we do business in the natural, if we are believers, we are fighting spiritual battles in the heavenlies in all we do. In order to see breakthrough in the natural, we must first learn how to overcome in the Spiritual realms. This series is designed to help you do just that. So please come and join me in this first episode as we discover what are spiritual battles and how we are to face them so we can see greater success in all areas of life and business.

I started my first official business when I was 27. It was a side hustle in the digital marketing space. I went full-time at 28 back in 2020.I always wonder what life and business would have been like if I started earlier. Today's guest is someone that's done just that. He's someone who I highly respect for his hustle and work ethic at such a young age. I've had the opportunity to coach and mentor him to a certain degree both with his landscaping & hardscaping company and digital marketing agency. Today I'm joined by Jack Hanneken.Jack's Bio:Hi, I'm Jack Hanneken — founder of Faster Fences and owner of GreenscapeSTL.

Independent Africa: The First Generation of Nation Builders (Indiana UP, 2023)explores Africa's political economy in the first two full decades of independence through the joint projects of nation-building, economic development, and international relations. Drawing on the political careers of four heads of states: Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Ahmed Sékou Touré of Guinea, Léopold Sédar Senghor, and Julius Kambarage Nyerere of Tanzania, Independent Africa engages four major themes: what does it mean to construct an African nation-state and what should an African nation-state look like; how does one grow a tropical economy emerging from European colonialism; how to explore an indigenous model of economic development, a "third way," in the context of a Cold War that had divided the world into two camps; and how to leverage internal resources and external opportunities to diversify agricultural economies and industrialize. Combining aspects of history, economics, and political science, Independent Africa examines the important connections between the first generation of African leaders and the shared ideas that informed their endeavors at nation-building and worldmaking. Professor Akyeampong is the former Oppenheimer Faculty Director of the Harvard University Center for African Studies and the Ellen Gurney Professor of History and of African and African American Studies at Harvard University. He joined the History faculty at Harvard upon receiving his Ph.D. in African History from the University of Virginia in 1993. He received his master's degree at Wake Forest University in North Carolina in 1989, where he concentrated on English labor history, and his bachelor's degree in History and Religions from the University of Ghana at Legon in 1984. Professor Akyeampong is currently the Ellen Gurney Professor of Professor Akyeampong's publications include Themes in West Africa's History (2005), which he edited; Independent Africa: The First Generation of Nation Builders (2023); Between the Sea and the Lagoon: An Eco-Social History of the Anlo of Southeastern Ghana, 1850 to Recent Times (2001); and Drink, Power and Cultural Change: A Social History of Alcohol in Ghana, c. 1800 to Present Times (1996). He was a co-chief editor with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., for the Dictionary of African Biography, 6 Vols. (2012). Professor Akyeampong has been awarded several research fellowships, and from 1993 to 1994, he was the Zora Neale Hurston Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study and Research in the African Humanities at Northwestern University. He was named a Corresponding Fellow of the Royal Historical Society in 2002, and was nominated to be a Fellow of the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2018 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws by the University of Ghana. At Harvard, Professor Akyeampong is a faculty associate for the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs and a member of the executive committee of the Hutchins Center.

The Lie of Being Unique: Why Construction Keeps Reinventing the Wheel Let's bust a myth that's quietly killing our productivity in construction: “This project is different.” In this eye-opening episode, Jason challenges one of the most common (and dangerous) beliefs in our industry that every project is so unique it can't follow a standard process. But what if that mindset is the very thing holding us back from stability, repeatability, and excellence? He shares: A powerful question from his CEO that sparked this whole reflection. What software, lean systems, and builders like Hensel Phelps already know. Why thinking you're unique can tank your schedule and lead to chaos. The truth about production systems: different buildings, same process. Whether you're a superintendent, project manager, or craftsman aiming to level up, this episode will shift your mindset and sharpen your focus.   If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.  And if you really like the Elevate Construction podcast, I'd appreciate you telling a friend (Maybe even two

In this episode, Jason responds to two powerful listener messages. First, a PM asks: How do you lead when you're new to a project and the entire team knows more than you do? Jason shares the exact strategy he would use to build trust, gain clarity, and define his role starting with humility and collaboration. Second, a reflection from a $300M industrial project in the Amazon reveals something important: even with advanced systems like BIM, AWP, and Last Planner in place, production suffers when foremen and supervisors lack core skills. Through Kaizen cycles, the team discovered gaps in pre-task planning, tool management, drawing reading, and 3D model usage and solved it with targeted training. Jason connects this insight to real examples like High Street and P1 Group's Forge training facility, emphasizing that skilled people, not just systems make the difference. A powerful reminder that builders need both the plan and the preparation. If you're new to a team or trying to level up field performance, this one's for you.   If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.  And if you really like the Elevate Construction podcast, I'd appreciate you telling a friend (Maybe even two

This one's going to hit home. We've all seen it, a rude PM, an arrogant superintendent, an aggressive designer on a call, or a toxic leader on a mega project. It's easy to justify behavior like this as “just the way things are” in construction. But Jason reminds us of a deeper truth: how we treat people is part of our job. In this episode: Why communication, kindness, and collaboration are essential job skills. What it feels like to be dismissed or belittled (Jason shares a personal and frustrating visit with a specialist). Why mega projects often bring out the worst behaviors. And why the most noble thing in construction might be leading a small project with stability and dignity. Plus, Jason answers a listener's question about finding the First Planner System book (spoiler: it's now titled Elevating Pre-Construction Planning due to Amazon publishing issues). This episode is for anyone who's ever felt mistreated at work or wants to be a better builder, leader, and human.   If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.  And if you really like the Elevate Construction podcast, I'd appreciate you telling a friend (Maybe even two

We talk a lot about strategy in construction. Planning, systems, flow, accountability—great stuff. But what if none of it works unless you confront one brutal truth?

Ever been asked to “just redo that in a different format”…for no reason? Or told “we don't have time for planning” even when it's clearly needed? In this episode, Jason calls out the everyday thoughtless requests that chip away at team morale, respect, and productivity in construction. Whether it's lazy leadership, selfish budgeting, or tone-deaf directions, these requests aren't just annoying, they're dangerous. What you'll hear in this episode: The difference between truly thoughtless vs. selfishly thoughtless requests. Why poor communication destroys trust on-site. How “small asks” actually cause massive waste. The one mindset shift that instantly builds respect in your workplace. And why "please" and "thank you" still matter more than ever. If you want to build a high-trust, high-performance team, it starts with what you don't say and what you stop asking others to do.   If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.  And if you really like the Elevate Construction podcast, I'd appreciate you telling a friend (Maybe even two

“You Can't Make It Up on the Freeway” – The Myth of Going Fast in Construction Ever leave late and tell yourself, “I'll make up the time by driving faster”? Spoiler: it never works and neither does rushing in construction. In this quick but powerful episode, Jason shares a real-life analogy that hits hard: speeding through traffic to make up for poor planning is no different than pushing crews on site without a stable plan. Both lead to stress, risks, and sometimes irreversible consequences. What you'll hear in this episode: A personal story that will shift how you think about “urgency”. Why rushing, pushing, and panicking only look productive. How late starts and poor planning are always the real problem. The dangerous ripple effects of last-minute chaos in construction. If you've ever said “we'll figure it out in the field” or felt the pressure to crash-land a project, this episode is your wake-up call.   If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.  And if you really like the Elevate Construction podcast, I'd appreciate you telling a friend (Maybe even two

Today I'm joined by fellow AU member, Zach Fagas. Zach and I actually went to grade school together. I was a year older. We have been connected online probably since Facebook was even a thing. It wasn't until a few years ago that we started interacting and having conversations. About a year ago I was actually on his podcast (also hosted here at AU), called the Zach & Pat Show. Zach is a realtor, podcaster, content creator, husband, father, and much more!Zach's Bio:I am 32 years old, born and raised right here in St. Louis, Missouri. I am a husband, father of two boys, full-time real estate agent, part-time real estate investor, and the host of a podcast called The Zach and Pat Show. I train, coach and compete in Brazilian jiu jitsu. I got into Crossfit a few years ago to make myself more competitive on the mats, but ended up falling in love with that as well. I made the switch to Real estate in late 2019 after spending more than a decade in the restaurant industry. My grandma who is still a licensed real estate agent today talked to me into getting my real estate license. I had great mentors and saw success pretty quickly with the real estate business. Since 2020 I have helped clients with close to 200 transactions totaling just under $50 million in sales volume. I have a small rental portfolio that I am actively trying to grow and have flipped 9 homes over the last few years. Connect with Zach:https://www.facebook.com/share/16LE7xsPcY/?mibextid=wwXIfr https://www.instagram.com/zach_fagas?igsh=NzZmdHQ4eXBjemt6&utm_source=qr https://www.instagram.com/thezachandpatshow?igsh=cnQ0OHNpOGkwaG5i&utm_source=qr https://youtube.com/@thezachandpatshow?si=DSfpJ1PdF6xOvjhm https://open.spotify.com/show/6HFGjgM2afuWdxD1QUAFy3?si=AbuESuzcS5S9lqk59c1Z2Q https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-zach-and-pat-show/id1722976295 Builders of Authority:FREE Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/7685392924809322 BOA Mastermind: https://buildauthority.co/order-form-mastermind GoHighLevel Extended 30-day Free Trial w/TONS of Personal Branding Bonuses: http://gohighlevel.com/adammcchesney

And what it really means to be a toxic seagull on the jobsite.

What happens when you combine flame-bent titanium, 3D scanning, and a 1969 Datsun Roadster? You get one of our favourite builds, and a happy missus.Connor McElvain ‪@ConnorButter‬ from Butter Welding showcases his custom Nissan/Datsun Roadster project, where old-school cool meets new-school tools. Starting with a complete 3D scan of the body, Connor designed and built a full custom chassis using CAD, ditching the original outdated geometry for a purpose-built cantilever suspension system that was prototyped with 3D printing and finalised via CNC machining.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inEvery part has been carefully modelled and refined from the Nissan SR20 VVL head to a pair of Weber carbs mounted on a one-off manifold for both form and function. A Haltech Elite 550 ECU runs the ignition and variable valve timing, blending modern control with vintage charm.The real showpiece is the titanium exhaust header, flame bent by hand and slip-fit for flexibility. This material isn't often used in this way and might not be ideal for long-term durability, but time will tell and in the meantime it looks incredible and sounds even better. This build is proof that with the right tech and dedication, you can create something pretty epic.Probably not surprising, but Connor and his roadster took the SEMA Battle of the Builders 'Young Guns' 1st place award
