3. This segment focuses on why nuclear energy has stalled in the United Statesdespite global expansion. Zubrin blames "hostile hyper-regulation" for extending construction times from three to sixteen years, which exponentially increases capital costs. He contrasts the American regulatory "insanity" with the more rational French model. While traditional pressurized water reactors are successful, Zubrin highlights entrepreneurial efforts in thorium and breeder reactors that could revolutionize efficiency. However, he warns that without regulatory reform, these innovations will remain in the research stage, preventing the U.S. from achieving full grid decarbonization. (3)1953 NEVADA

Guest: L.R. (Lee) Weeden, CM-Lean, LCI-CPC What We Discussed: Lee's journey into construction leadership and lean thinking Why continuous improvement matters in project delivery and teams How lean principles shift focus from firefighting to intentional progress What resilience looks like in busy project environments The intersection of process, people, and leadership in built work Lessons from building teams as much as buildings Why It Matters: Lee brings a systems mindset to an industry that moves at the pace of relationships and momentum. His experience especially in healthcare projects, shows how intentional process and team dynamics make the difference between chaos and predictable outcomes.  Key Highlights: Continuous improvement isn't a buzzword it's a set of choices and habits Leadership in construction happens on the ground as much as in meetings Lean principles are human, not just technical Follow Lee on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/lrweeden/  where he posts regularly about leadership and lean in construction.  

This was supposed to be commercial real estate's year. The industry entered 2026 expecting interest rates to fall, liquidity to rise, and for long-stalled transactions to finally put the pedal to the metal. For a while, it seemed as though CRE would finally be experiencing a true recovery from the massive hit it took during the pandemic.But today, things are looking a little shakier. Global instability surrounding the escalating conflict between the U.S. and Iran has escalated tariff and trade tensions. Meanwhile, $1.2T in real estate loans are expected to mature by 2027, a significant amount of which were originated when borrowing costs were much lower.On this episode, Greg Friedman, CEO of Peachtree Group, one of the most active private credit platforms in CRE, breaks down the impacts as it stands today.

In this episode of Construction Corner, host Dillon breaks down the massive workforce shifts happening across America — from the $600 billion data center construction boom driven by the big hyperscalers, to how AI is simultaneously eliminating jobs at large corporations while creating new ones at smaller companies. He covers the growing apprenticeship-to-foreman ratio gap threatening job site productivity, why modern tools are opening the trades to a broader workforce, and how implementing simple checklists and Elon Musk's 5-step process optimization framework can help construction firms train, retain, and scale their teams in today's high-demand environment.

  Peggy Smedley and Patrick Scarpati, director of construction technology and innovation, ABC (Associated Builders and Contractors), talk about the pressures contractors are facing and how technology is becoming central to that shift. He says technology is accelerating at varying levels throughout the industry. They also discuss: · How we can use technology to keep up with the speed of change. · The state of integration and APIs (application programming interfaces). · If technology will play a part in upskilling and reskilling. https://www.abc.org

Peggy Smedley and Paul Brussow, president, RLB North America, talk about the forces reshaping construction and the built environment, diving into a new report looking at cost, risks, and markets. He says we saw a federal rate cut in December 2025, and while we didn't see the surge of groundbreakers we hoped, developers are cautiously optimistic. They also discuss: · If construction companies are repositioning for a different kind of economy. · Investment in training and the challenge of the retiring workforce. · Adjustments that are needed in certain sectors moving forward.  https://www.rlb.com/

Construction companies don't go out of business because they lack work. They go out of business because they take on too much work and lose discipline. In this episode, Eric Anderton talks with DPR Construction leaders Camilo Garcia and Mike Humphrey about how DPR built the discipline that carried the company through multiple boom-bust cycles—from early hypergrowth to market volatility in the 2000s, the 2009 downturn, and today's AI-driven data center surge. They explain how DPR protects its culture through disciplined hiring, empowers teams with freedom within a framework, stays selective with customers and markets, and scales using operating ranges based on people—not just revenue. If you're leading a construction company in a high-demand market, this episode shows how DPR stays disciplined while growing.   Resources: DPR Construction: https://www.dpr.com/Connect with Camilo on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/camilo-garcia-pineros-79172ba/ Connect with Mike on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-humphrey-b589695/

Today on Rounding the Bases, we're breaking ground and challenging bias with a guest who climbed the rungs until the ceiling was shattered. Her name is Barb Allen. She's a carpenter turned construction executive who spent 30 years building a successful career, despite industry norms. Now, Barb is a keynote speaker giving other women the tools to do the same.

If you had to describe Big Fish in one word, what would it be? Roofing? Construction? How about people?   For the first time, Erik's wife, Lindsay, joins us on the podcast, and the conversation goes way beyond business. We talk about what those early days of Big Fish really looked like, reflecting on its growth, raising four kids while the company was just getting off the ground, and what it meant to support a dream that wasn't always clear or easy. It's really a side of Big Fish's story we haven't really shared before.   Lindsay opens up about trying to find her place, how marriage and business can blur together, her experience with addiction and recovery, and what that has looked like over the years. It's a reminder that behind every company logo is a family, real struggles, real growth, and a lot of grace. At the end of the day, you can't separate the business from the people behind it.

☎️ Schedule a Business Evaluation Call with The Construction Leading Edge Team HERE EPISODE 435:  There's a belief running in your construction business right now that sounds completely responsible. Maybe it's "now's not a good time." Maybe it's "when things calm down, I'll fix it." Maybe it's "we just need to hire more people." It sounds like you're being smart and protecting your business. And it's the exact thing that's keeping you stuck. That gap between what you tell yourself and what's actually holding you back — that's where the real problem lives. In this episode of The Construction Leading Edge Podcast, Todd introduces the concept of mental malware — belief patterns running silently in the background of your mental operating system, capping your growth without you knowing they're there. He walks through 11 of the most common mental malware files he's heard from hundreds of construction business owners, the one deeper program running underneath all of them, and 3 steps to start identifying and deleting the beliefs that are keeping your business dependent on you.

Rachel Booth — U.S. social policy writer at Vox — is in good traffic this week for a conversation about what happens when cities bet on millennials but forget they eventually have kids, why upzoning alone won't solve the family-sized housing shortage, and how to tell complex urban stories to audiences who need them most. As someone who has covered housing and homelessness for 15 years and is now 38.5 weeks pregnant while living in D.C. as a renter, Rachel brings both professional expertise and deeply personal stakes to the question of whether cities can actually work for families. Rachel walks through her Vox reporting on the stark reality facing urban America: large urban counties lost roughly 8% of their under-five population between 2020 and 2024, and in New York City, families with kids under six left at twice the rate of everyone else. She explains why even in cities that have successfully upzoned and increased housing production, the economics of development overwhelmingly produce studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments rather than the three- and four-bedroom units families need. The conversation shifts to Vox's approach to accessibility—how to make wonky housing policy compelling without dumbing it down—and Rachel's work on an upcoming book project that explores these themes further. From the challenge of translating podcasts into audiobooks to why transcript availability has changed journalism, the episode weaves between urbanism and the evolving media landscape that shapes how these ideas spread. We also touch on: Why vacancy rates don't tell the full housing story. The diversity cities lose when families leave. The economics of why developers don't build family-sized units. How Vox makes complex topics accessible. The tension between accessibility and depth. Rachel's book project and the audiobook problem. Why YouTube remains a question mark for writers.

The Pre-Construction Process Is Broken and Architects Can Fix ItPreconstruction management platform founder Adam Katz joins the EntreArchitect Podcast to discuss how better information can transform the building process. Katz shares how his background in finance, construction, and technology shaped the vision behind Craydl. Together, they explore the persistent gap between design intent and construction cost.However, the problem is not just pricing. Architects, builders, and owners often work from different sets of information during preconstruction. Katz explains how Craydl creates a single source of truth so teams can align decisions early and reduce risk across the project.As the conversation unfolds, Katz highlights how clearer communication can improve margins, execution, and trust across the construction village. The result is a smarter preconstruction process that supports both creativity and financial reality. Looking ahead, Katz shares his vision for Craydl to become a widely recognized platform shaping the future of building.This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, The Pre-Construction Process Is Broken and Architects Can Fix It with Adam Katz.Learn more about Adam at Craydl, check out the Builder Portal, and connect with him on LinkedIn.Please Visit Our Platform SponsorsArcatemy is Arcat's Continuing Education Program.

Kris Lengieza is Field Chief Innovation Officer at Procore Technologies where he channels his passion for construction and technology to drive meaningful change in our industry. Mike Petrusky asks Kris about his experiences hosting the "Power of Construction" podcast, with his colleague, Sasha Reed. They explore the strong alignment between construction and facilities management, especially around the use and handover of data throughout the asset lifecycle. Kris says that the construction process represents only about 20% of an asset's lifecycle, with operations and maintenance of the building encompassing the rest, so FM leaders must demand better collaboration and data flow between stakeholders. Technological advancements like AI and automation are poised to fundamentally change how documentation and decision-making are handled, so Kris encourages upskilling, a focus on soft skills and digital literacy as we head into the future of the built environment. Mike and Kris agree that music, generational connections, and human experiences will always play an important role in building culture and bridging gaps in the industry, so they offer the inspiration you need to be an Asset Champion in your organization!

Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Thessoloniki Greece, Part 1 Welcome to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. I returned from a 90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow travelers and share experiences for world peace. Here is an FAQ about plane or train travel, Thessoloniki Greece, Part 1, and also about a health issue you don't want when you travel. Give a listen. I guide you to solo travel experiences to bring out your best. The FAQ is: If you could take a plane or a train, which would it be and why? Answer:  If I have the choice between a plane and a train, Most of the time… I choose the train. Now let's be practical. If the distance is extreme — say, cross-country or intercontinental — the plane wins on efficiency. At this stage of life, I value my energy. Six hours in the air may beat twenty hours of transfers. But when are both realistic options? Train. Here's why. First, the train allows me to arrive gently. There's no stripping down at security, no liquid anxiety, no rushing to a distant gate. I walk onto the train. I keep my water. I keep my dignity. That matters. Second, the scenery. At 50+, we understand that the journey is not separate from the destination. On a train, I see villages, farmland, people waiting on platforms, laundry on balconies. I watch life unfold. A plane gives me clouds. Third, ease of movement. I can stand up. Walk. Stretch. Visit the café car. Talk to someone if I choose — or not. For solo women, that flexibility feels empowering. Fourth, arrival point. Trains typically drop you in the center of town. Planes drop you 40 minutes away, followed by taxis, shuttles, and more logistics. Simplicity wins. Now — here's where I get skeptical of my own bias. If I'm exhausted… If connections are complicated… If safety or night travel becomes a concern…Going from Oslo to Bergen this past summer, we had a 7-hour delay, stranded in Voss due to the heated tracks. That was not unusual, I later learned. Side note: I did enjoy my time in Voss and learned to slow down. If I anticipate a delay like this, I will absolutely take the plane. Comfort and safety override romance. So my answer? If time is short and distance is long,,,,, fly. If time is flexible and distance is reasonable, take the train and let the world move past your window. At this stage of life, we're not just getting somewhere. We're experiencing how we get there. And that is the difference.   60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today  Confidence Challenge in Greece and on trains.

Episode 223: Concrete Futures: Cementing Colonialism in Morocco and Decolonizing Construction Technologies During the French Protectorate (1912-1956), migration, epidemics, scarcity, and urban unrest transformed cities like Casablanca into sites of experimentation with new forms of governance. Technologies that were new to the country such as reinforced concrete not only changed the way that Moroccan cities were built but also rearranged relations of authority among engineers, officials, workers, and residents. Daniel Williford's book titled Concrete Futures: Technology and the Uncontrollable in Modern Morocco, demonstrates that struggles over critical urban technologies reveal a more fundamental conflict over the nature of decolonization in Morocco and the extent to which practices rooted in colonial projects could enable other types of political organization and action. These technologies—from materials like cinder blocks and techniques of demolition to forms of housing finance and labor organization—enabled colonial and postcolonial experts and officials to harness the skills and knowledge of Moroccan workers while restricting their capacity to shape the urban environment. At the same time, Moroccan residents put new methods for building and financing to their own, often anticolonial, ends. Drawing upon oral and archival research, this project tracks colonial engineers and architects, Moroccan cement plant workers, urban Muslim notables, and postcolonial officials as they designed, adapted, and deployed construction technologies to promote conflicting visions of social and political order. The ultimately uncontrollable qualities of colonial technologies made them ambiguous sites for both contestation and control. In Morocco today, desires for concrete futures continue to shape political and technical imaginaries, as well as their limits. Daniel Williford is an assistant professor in the History Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is a historian of technology with a focus on twentieth-century North Africa and the Middle East. His work examines the links between colonial modernization projects, the construction of racialized technical hierarchies, local forms of political contestation and technological labor, and the remaking of urban environments in the region.

In this episode, Jason is joined by guest Aaron to explore how technology, AI, and smarter pre-construction processes are shaping the future of the construction industry. The conversation dives into one of the most important realities facing the industry today labor shortages and how better planning, digital tools, and automation can help teams build more efficiently with the workforce available. Jason and Aaron discuss why so much of a project's success is determined long before construction begins, during the pre-construction phase.  What you'll learn in this episode: Why the majority of project success is determined during pre-construction. How labor shortages are pushing the industry toward smarter technology adoption. The role AI and digital tools can play in planning and coordination. How better pre-construction reduces problems in the field. Why technology should support workers not replace them. How construction leaders can start preparing for a more tech-enabled future.

Shamoon Siddiqui, CEO and Founder of Human Friendly Robotics, joins The Tech Trek to break down what it really takes to bring robotics into construction. This is not a futuristic thought experiment. It is a grounded conversation about where robots can create value now, why construction has lagged so badly on productivity, and how focused automation could reshape one of the world's biggest industries.At the center of the discussion is Tyler, a tile laying robot built as a practical entry point into construction automation. Shamoon explains why repeatable workflows matter, where human skill still wins, and how robotics can improve speed, safety, and job site economics without needing to look like a science fiction demo.In this episode• Why construction productivity has moved backward while other industries have surged ahead• Why tiling is the right entry point for construction robotics• How Human Friendly Robotics thinks about deployment, rentals, and product iteration• Where robots can reduce hidden job site injuries tied to repetitive strain• Why the long game is much bigger than tile, with plumbing, electrical, and HVAC in sightTimestamped highlights00:35 Why construction is the right market for robotics right now03:56 The bigger shift from humans moving atoms to machines handling more physical work08:29 Why the business model is built around rentals, not one time equipment sales10:24 The wedge strategy today and the larger vision across licensed trades12:12 The overlooked safety problem of repetitive strain in construction20:44 Why useful robots matter more than robots built for flashy demos“Version one is not going to be as good as version five, but if you continue to rent it from us, we can make sure you get version five when it's ready.”Practical takeawayThe smartest automation wedge is not the flashiest one. Start with repetitive, measurable work, prove productivity gains in the real world, and expand from there.Follow The Tech Trek for more conversations on robotics, AI, startups, and the technologies changing how real work gets done.#ConstructionTech #Robotics #Automation #ai #FutureOfWork

This episode features a live audience conversation and tasting at The Vine Club in Atlanta, GA with Pauline Vranken, the Chief Executive Officer of Vranken-Pommery America. This was Pauline's first ever visit to Atlanta, and she brought a variety of sparkling wines for us to taste from California, England, and Champagne. Our friends at Georgia Crown Distributing Co. had the brilliant idea of pairing this eclectic lineup of sparkling wines with a variety of pizza flavors throughout the night. We talk about the historical legacy of Madame Pommery, her connection to the arts, and how carrying on her innovative spirit still grounds a lot of the work being done in the company today. Pauline earned her Master of Science in Civil Engineering, with a Concentration in Real Estate, Construction and Finance from Columbia University and is currently based in New York City. She says Champagne runs in her veins, so we ask her to also shed light on the significance and current status of the sparkling wine category in the wine industry as a whole today. You can follow @champagnepommery on Instagram and visit www.maisonpommery.com to learn more about their history and current portfolio.Recorded March 3, 2026 with a live audience at The Vine Club in Atlanta, GA-----------------*** Check out our ⁠⁠MERCH SHOP⁠⁠ to directly support the show, and visit www.acorkintheroad.com for all upcoming events and media contributions

In this episode, Jason tackles a common question in pull planning and project coordination: why do labor counts matter in construction and when do they not? He explores why labor counts are often tracked during pull plans, morning huddles, and planning sessions, yet rarely drive meaningful outcomes for general contractors. Jason breaks down situations where labor counts can influence productivity like adjusting crew composition to meet Takt time or maintaining specialized crew roles in civil work but challenges the industry's habit of overemphasizing them. Instead, he argues that productivity and flow are far more dependent on work being made ready, roadblocks being removed, and the system being properly coordinated. What you'll learn in this episode: Why labor counts are traditionally included in pull planning. When crew composition actually affects productivity. Why general contractors often track labor numbers without gaining real insight. The difference between monitoring manpower and enabling production flow. Why "made-ready work" matters more than crew size. How questioning traditional practices leads to better systems. Are we tracking labor counts because they truly help the project succeed or simply because that's the way construction has always done it?
