In this insightful episode of Hoots on the Ground with No Bullshido, Adam Hoots is joined by Hal Macomber, a respected leader, coach, and influential figure in the field of Lean Construction. Hal shares over 35 years of experience pioneering Lean practices, offering profound insights into continuous flow construction, human-centered leadership, and the power of engaging frontline workers. Hal reflects on the industry's progress, emphasizing that while Lean has made significant strides, substantial work remains to integrate its core principles universally. He introduces the concept of "Continuous Flow Construction," explaining the critical importance of designing projects with a clear operational rhythm or "Takt," thereby dramatically improving efficiency and reducing project duration. Key insights from this episode include: How continuous flow construction, designed around Takt time, can revolutionize project delivery by dramatically reducing cycle times, sometimes from weeks to mere hours. The essential role of operational science, including Little's Law, the Law of Bottlenecks, the Law of Variation, and Kingman's Formula, in enhancing production planning and control. The true meaning of "Kaizen," emphasizing personal and collective growth through continuous learning and improvement, extends beyond simply eliminating waste. The critical need to equip trade workers, whom Hal respectfully refers to as "performers," with the skills, mindset, and agency to execute Lean principles in the field effectively. The limitations of traditional scheduling methods (e.g., CPM) necessitate the adoption of collaborative, inclusive scheduling practices that fully integrate Lean methodologies. Hal highlights the transformational power of true worker agency and engagement, urging leaders to foster environments where frontline workers actively contribute to problem-solving and continuous improvement. He challenges conventional wisdom by asserting that push methods are never beneficial, advocating instead for a system based entirely on pull and flow. Through stories and practical advice, Hal and Adam encourage listeners to shift from rigid, hierarchical structures toward empathetic, human-centered approaches that harness the full potential of every team member. This episode is a crucial listen for construction leaders, Lean practitioners, and anyone passionate about driving deep, sustainable improvement through genuine human engagement and systemic thinking. NOTABLE EPISODE QUOTES: “Continuous flow construction isn't just about efficiency; it's about human engagement and empowerment.” – Hal Macomber “Real Kaizen is using every opportunity to grow ourselves, not just the system.” – Hal Macomber “Don't just respect people—respect human nature.” – Hal Macomber ABOUT HOOTS ON THE GROUND PODCAST:The Lean Builder's absolutely, positively NO Bullshido podcast.

The Sixteenth Amendment authorizes Congress to lay "taxes on incomes ... without apportionment among the several States." Beginning with Eisner v. Macomber, 252 U.S. 189 (1920), this Court's decisions have uniformly held "income," for Sixteenth Amendment purposes, to require realization by the taxpayer. In the decision below, however, the Ninth Circuit approved taxation of a married couple on earnings that they undisputedly did not realize but were instead retained and reinvested by a corporation in which they are minority shareholders. It held that "realization of income is not a constitutional requirement" for Congress to lay an "income" tax exempt from apportionment. App.12. In so holding, the Ninth Circuit became "the first court in the country to state that an 'income tax' doesn't require that a 'taxpayer has realized income."' App.38 (Bumatay, J., dissenting from denial of rehearing en banc). The question presented is: Whether the Sixteenth Amendment authorizes Congress to tax unrealized sums without apportionment among the states.

How To Build a Cannabis Community with Brett Macomber #104 This month I attended the Michigan Cannatech Expo, purportedly the largest tech expo for cannabis in the Midwest. While attending one of the many seminars I met Brett Macomber from Cannakins, an IT shop that targets businesses in the cannabis industry. But Brett was talking about IT, he was discussing how to find a path to a sustainable cannabis community. I pulled Brett aside afterward and he agreed to visit the podcast. In this episode, Brett shares the power of building a community that not only promotes cannabis but also paves avenues for businesses looking to serve the industry. The discussion includes the importance of building communities for families, athletes, NORML, universities, and the power of food! They say Community is where the heart is and the heart is what "pumps" up the enthusiasm and brings everyone together! The Cannabis Advocate podcast advocates for businesses in the cannabis industry and explores the unique challenges they face. Despite hurdles in legislation, regulation, and culture, there are tremendous opportunities for growers, manufacturers and retail sellers of cannabis products. Many of these issues are unique to the cannabis industry. This podcast speaks to these common concerns and shares stories of success. This is a production of Habanero Media. https://habaneromedia.net

“I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God” (Jer. 31). Jeremiah 31:27-34 Psalm 119:97-104 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5 Luke 18:1-8 “When the Son of humanity comes will he find faith on earth” (Lk. 18)? These words from two thousand years ago are the defining question of our time. This week the House Committee on the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol concluded its hearings. We have seen indisputable evidence that politicians continue to use false claims of electoral fraud to secure their own power.[1] Last month the governors of Florida and Texas falsely promised jobs and resettlement help to asylum seekers who they sent to Washington, D.C. and Martha's Vineyard. They used immigrants, including children, as part of a political stunt.[2] This action echoes the way that black southerners were bused out of the south by segregationist White Citizens' Councils to cities with prominent integrationist leaders in 1962.[3] This week in Ukraine and Iran ordinary people were slaughtered because of a distant political agenda, because of an ideology. Here at home we see terrible poverty and neglect on our own streets. “When the Son of humanity comes, will he find faith on earth?” In the face of the heartbreaking cruelty and dishonesty of his own time Jesus tells his friends, “a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart” (Lk. 18). Jesus tells this story near the end of his own journey to Jerusalem, as he talks about the end of time when God's realm of justice, peace and love will come. The Hebrew Bible frequently demands that the powerful have a special responsibility to widows, strangers and orphans. These groups are vulnerable because they have no male relatives to defend them. Although widows in the Bible (like in the stories of Ruth or Elijah and the widow of Zarephath) often model tenacity, resourcefulness and initiative, they represent vulnerability just as the judge symbolizes power. In several sections of Luke's Gospel he uses a “how much more” argument. “If you then, who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him” (Lk. 11:13).[4] This parable uses this same logic. A widow comes to a judge seeking justice. He does not believe in God. Nor does he respect people. He refuses to help her until he reasons that, “because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out” (Lk. 18). Let me point out two ways in which the Greek version differs from the English translation. When the judge says that he does not want the widow to “wear him out” the Greek word for this is hupopiazē. It is an expression from boxing. It means to literally give someone a black eye. The judge doesn't want the widow to embarrass him or injure his reputation. Second, the Greek more strongly conveys urgency, impatience and conviction. Greek uses double negatives to add emphasis. It's almost as if Jesus raises his voice to underline what he means. A more literal version might be, “And will not God give vengeance to his chosen ones who are crying day and night? And be impatient to help them!”[5] The point is not that God resembles the unjust judge. In almost every respect Jesus describes God as the opposite. The judge is self-centered. He only uses people. But God is full of love, impatient for his children to thrive. Jesus is unafraid to be humiliated for our sake. The purpose of this “how much more” story is for us to trust God and to persist in prayer.[6] Today I want to give you one picture of a faithless world and then to consider how faith humanizes us. In college I knew a woman whose favorite story was Ernest Hemmingway's "The Short and Happy Life of Francis Macomber." This always worried me about her partly because of the story's misogyny but mostly because of its position with regard to faith. We meet Francis Macomber as a thirty-five year old American business tycoon on safari in East Africa. As the story unfolds we gradually come to realize that he has committed the cardinal sin in the universe of Hemingway fiction. The day before he betrayed his manliness and ran in fear from a wounded lion who had been concealed in the tall grass. Margot, his wife, does not try to comfort him in his humiliation. Instead, she despises this act of cowardice and as a consequence she sleeps with the safari leader that night. Hemmingway also seems to hate his own fictitious character, because he wouldn't leave his wife, because "he would take anything" from her.[7] The next day the group goes in pursuit of a dangerous buffalo. Then, suddenly, in an almost religious conversion, Macomber changes. Hemmingway writes, that “[f]or the first time in his life he felt wholly without fear. Instead of fear he had a feeling of definite elation.” The safari leader admires this new courage. His wife fears it because she no longer has the power to make him ashamed of being afraid. Why is it called a "Short Happy Life"? Only moments later as Macomber tries to flush the buffalo out of the long grass, “he [feels] a sudden white-hot, blinding flash explode inside his head and that was all he ever felt.” Although his wife claimed she was aiming at the buffalo, she shot him in the back of the head. When the son of man comes will he find faith on earth? In Hemmingway's universe there is no faith. Men can never depend on women, or on other men. Every person is either a conquest or an adversary. The individual can only rely on an elusive courage that comes miraculously from within, an irrational bravery which completely isolates each soul from all else. The theologian H. Richard Niebuhr emphasizes that faith means more than merely faith in God. Faith concerns all the ways that we are connected to and support and depend on each other. “We see this possibility – that human history will come to its end… in the gangrenous corruption of a social life in which every promise, contract, treaty and “word of honor” is given and received in deception and distrust. If [human beings] can no longer have faith in each other, can they exist as [human beings]?”[8] What shall we do in this time before the second coming of Christ? We need to pray and not lose hope. We also need to strive to be people of honesty and integrity, to listen and care for others. To use the language of Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) we need to treat people as ends rather than as means to our own goals. The heartbreaking sin of this judge was his inability to see the widow as a person. I have a friend named Sue Everson who is a world authority on hopelessness. As a medical researcher she studies the effect that hopelessness has on our health. One of her more startling statistics is that people who feel hopeless are twenty percent more likely to die in the next four years from a stroke. Hopelessness increases your chance of a stroke to the same degree that smoking a pack of cigarettes a day does. Sue scientifically studies how religion seems to make people less hopeless.[9] Today with churches around the world we celebrate the Children's Sabbath. A central part of what we do together involves our care for children and families. We teach children how to listen spiritually, how to pray and not lose heart. Professor Lisa Miller has been our guest on the forum twice. She argues that denying our spirituality is not just untrue but unhealthy for us and especially for children. Using new techniques ranging from twin studies to neuroimaging, scientists are coming to a new appreciation for just how important spirituality is for human flourishing. Miller claims that all children possess a kind of “natural spirituality.” This interest in the Holy, this, “direct sense of… the heartbeat of the living universe… precedes and transcends language, culture and religion.”[10] This spirituality protects us, but not completely, from depression, anxiety and the tendency to misuse alcohol and drugs. So what is the most important thing that we can do as adults for children? We can support their Sunday School teachers and the families who gather here. We can take their questions seriously. We can listen to them.[11] And so the conversation continues every week here. In life we are forever asking and being asked a simple question, “do you believe me?”[12] Do you? Seeing what is happening in the world, it is easy to struggle with a crisis of trust right now. I trust God but I don't know if the Son will find faith on earth. And yet at the same time I feel remarkably supported by the life I find at Grace Cathedral. C.S. Lewis writes that, “Faith… is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of changing moods….” Because of this he says we need to pray and hold some of the Christian ideals in our mind for a period of time every day. We need to worship because, “We have to be continually reminded of what we believe… Belief has to be fed…” People do not cease to be Christian because of a good argument but because they simply drift away. Kathleen Norris writes, “prayer is not asking for what you think you want but asking to be changed in ways you can't imagine. To be made more grateful, more able to see the good in what you have been given instead of always grieving for what might have been.”[13] My friends pray always and do not lose heart. Be trustworthy and care for the children. When the Son of humanity comes may he find faith on earth. [1] Alan Feuer, Luke Broadwater, Maggie Haberman, Katie Benner and Michael S.

Hal Macomber says, “Lean is NOT a cost-cutting approach. Lean is a people development approach.” The current state of construction is changing. More and more people are changing how we build. In this continued interview, Hal shares what actions you can take to build higher team performance while building new capabilities including his standard approach for improving project delivery. When we focus on people and improving construction flow, we will be engaged in better strategies to minimize the impact of variation and complexity. "Use Flow as your improvement metric. Engage the people doing the work, that is how to make positive changes, and continue learning." Focus on flow, use Takt Planning, and heed the production laws. The Four Production Laws include: The Law of Variation The Theory of Constraints (bottlenecks) Little's Law (batch size and durations) Kingman's Forumla (capacity utilization and variation) Free Takt Resources: https://www.elevateconstructionist.com/taktbookresources Free Construction Scrum Book Resources https://constructionscrum.com/downloads Connect with Hal via LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/halmacomber/ Connect with Felipe via Social media at https://thefelipe.bio.link Subscribe on YouTube to never miss new videos here: https://rb.gy/q5vaht --- Today's episode is sponsored by Bosch RefinemySite.

What Makes Citra-Shield Cleaning Systems a Good Neighbor...The Citra-Shield product was developed over 18 years ago specifically for the roofing industry to remove green & black algae, moss, mildew, fungus and lichen stains plus other stains or dirt causing the building to have an unsightly appearance in addition to a energy loss on white or commercial roofs. The product has grown in applications over the years and from just tile roofs to all types of roofing systems from asphalt to membrane commercial roofs and is now approved by several roofing manufacturers, i.e. FiberTite, Duro-Last & 2001 and we our presently working with other manufactures. From the roof applications, Citra-Shield is now used in cleaning concrete, concrete statues, pavers, complete buildings, Dryvit & Parex USA type materials (EIFIS) buildings in addition many other areas and materials can be safely cleaned with Citra-Shield products.The product itself eliminates the need for harmful power washing (reducing manpower) since most of the time high pressure washing will remove the protection of the product you are trying to clean plus on roof structures walking on tiles is never a good idea. There are NO harmful chemicals within the product, eliminating any possibility of corrosion to your building, will not decay nails, clips, aluminum or other fasteners for your roofing system, it also will not harm plants,shrubs or animals.Citra-Shield is a green product, all EPA approved ingredients & BIODEGRADABLE.Citra-Shield is applied with a low pressure system that is a NON-RINSE cleaner and preventive treatment that removes green & black algae, moss, mildew, fungus,and lichen stains from roofs decks, walkways, pavers, brick, stucco, stone decks, composite decking materials and other exterior surfaces as mentioned above. The system works by attacking the root structure of the growth and continues cleaning the surface as it removes the unwanted growth. With a bi-annual or quarterly program application Citra-Shield will insure that the building or structure will remain as it appeared when new.The Citra-Shield Cleaning Systems has been in business for over 28 years with three Citra Shield locations in the USA servicing thousands of businesses and home owners alike, we service over 250 hospitals with our complete services and have various national accounts across the USA.We have supplied Disney Citra-Shield for the past several years and have worked with several groups performing test and complete projects.

In a perfect world, an organization's proposal, marketing and business development teams work together, building a strategic plan for RFP success. And yet, a number of proposal professionals continue to be siloed from the rest of the organization and left out of the capture strategy discussion. So, what can we do to demonstrate our value beyond the production of the proposal document and demand a seat at the table? Today, we're joined Susan Quinn, the Director of Proposal Development at Myers and Stauffer LC, and Krystn Macomber, Regional Marketing Manager at Burns & McDonnell and Vice-Chair of the Association of Proposal Management Professionals. Together, Susan and Krystn have 40-plus years of experience in the realm of marketing, proposal management and business development. On this episode of The RFP Success Show, Susan and Krystn sit down with us to share their experiences through the pandemic and explain how the changes we've made might inform the future of the proposal industry. They offer advice on capture strategy, challenging us to build relationships with decision makers long before an RFP comes out and integrate our efforts with the marketing and sales teams. Listen in for Susan and Krystn's tips for writing strong proposal content and learn how to ask for a seat at the table so that you have a voice in the strategic planning process. Key Takeaways How the proposal industry has changed through the COVID-19 crisis Why Krystn's team is focusing on different markets in light of the pandemic Susan's insight on what state governments are doing differently right now The value in identifying decision-makers and building those relationships long before an RFP comes out How to leverage online content (e.g.: blogs, white papers) to turn a cold opportunity into a warm one How Susan's team uses a Watch List to monitor upcoming opportunities Why it's never advisable to use a proposal to get your foot in the door How to integrate your marketing, proposal and business development teams for RFP success Susan & Krystn's advice on writing strong proposal content Focus on evaluation criteria Organize SME brain dump in logical order Cut out fluff Demonstrate understanding of client vision Consider what drives decision makers The importance of explaining WHY your experience is relevant in a proposal How Susan & Krystn think about the future of the RFP industry How to ask for a seat at the table as a proposal professional Connect with Susan Email squinn@mslc.com Connect with Krystn Krystn on LinkedIn Email kmacomber@burnsmcd.com Connect with Lisa Lisa's Website Lisa on Twitter Lisa on Facebook Lisa on LinkedIn The RFP Success Company on YouTube The RFP Success Community on LinkedIn Subscribe on iTunes Email podcast@rfpsuccess.com Resources APMP International Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services LinkedIn Live
