As in any other industry, artificial intelligence is becoming a vital tool in construction, reforming how projects are designed, planned, and executed. It can help construction companies with critical challenges like skilled labor shortages by empowering junior employees with expert knowledge ingrained in digital tools. As the industry evolves, AI stands out as a practical, approachable tool that delivers efficiency and innovation. However, it's important to note that AI is not a ‘know-all' but rather a tool that continues to evolve and improve over time through user feedback and experience.  Meet the co-founder and CEO of Augmenta, Francesco Iorio, a company on a mission to empower the construction industry to design buildings more efficiently and at a lower cost, enabling a future of sustainable buildings, cities, and infrastructure. Before Augmenta, Iorio served as Director of Computational Science Research at Autodesk, where he led a group of researchers and engineers in exploring state-of-the-art computational science projects that pioneered modern generative design. Previously, Iorio was a solution architect for next-generation computing systems at the IBM High Performance Computing Group in Dublin, Ireland.

Pose a challenge to the responses of AI.  Involve senior staff during the AI adoption phase and use the tool as a bridge for junior employees.  Point out the power of real user stories in breaking down skepticism.  Present AI as the next step in progress instead of a disruptive leap.    RESOURCES Connect with Francesco Iorio LinkedIn – linkedin.com/in/francescoiorio/  Website - augmenta.ai/  Toronto, Canada restaurant recommendation: terroni.com/    90-Day High-Performance Dashboard You can't afford to let your people drift.

Family business succession is not just about changing the leadership; it's a delicate balancing act between maintaining the legacy and embracing innovation. Both founders and successors face the challenges of navigating deep personal attachments, generational differences, and the emotional weight of letting go and stepping up. A genuine succession requires more than a solid plan: it demands trust, humility, and the discipline to lead by example.  Joining us today is Dimitri Sidiropoulos. Dimitri is a son, husband, father of three, and a second-generation leader in the construction industry. At Delphi, a company specializing in heavy mechanical infrastructure work, Dimitri plays a key role in leading the team to continue building on a legacy of quality and innovation. Dimitri's primary focus is on team building, business development, and cultivating a strong company culture. Dedicated to creating an environment where collaboration, continuous growth, and mutual respect are prioritized, Dimitri works to ensure that every team member has the resources and support needed to succeed. Throughout the conversation, Dimitri and I discussed the following topics about the strategic art of family business succession: myths of a family business, maintaining high standards, creating space for further employee advancements, expecting and handling conflict in a family business, succession planning: legacy vs. innovation, the shift from doing to leading, leading by example, and the importance of maintaining open communication with employees.  HIGHLIGHTS [02:01] Myths of family business.  [06:29] The importance of maintaining high standards.  [14:05] Building long-term client relationships with personal connections.  [16:07] Handling conflicts in a family business.  [21:28] Succession Planning: Leading with curiosity and trust.  [30:20] Dimitri's succession plan and the development of future leaders.  [38:59] Leading by example and personal growth.  [41:32] Visiting job sites and maintaining an open communication with employees.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Build a growth culture, not just a growth plan.  Go beyond the contract. Position your team as problem-solvers and collaborators.  Expect conflict. Step back when needed, cool down, and revisit the conversation later. Respect experience. Learn the lesson before you dismiss them.  Expect the discomforts in transition and embrace them as parts of growth.    RESOURCES Connect with Dimitri Sidiropoulos LinkedIn – https://linkedin.com/in/dimitri-sidiropoulos-b4485190/                      https://linkedin.com/company/delphiph/  Website Copy - https://delphiph.com/      90-Day High-Performance Dashboard You can't afford to let your people drift.

In this engaging and refreshingly honest interview, Niall is joined by The Apprentice UK breakout star Jordan Dargan, the only Irish contestant in this year's series, who made it all the way to the final five—despite not even being part of the original lineup. Jordan shares the behind-the-scenes reality of life on one of Britain's biggest business shows, what really went down in the boardroom, and how one text from Lord Sugar might just change everything.Jordan's story is one of bold risks and self-made success. He opens up about the last-minute twist that got him onto the show:“I was a reserve… I could have done everything and not even got on.”But when the call came, he was on the first flight to London—and determined to make an impact. Despite early challenges navigating the louder personalities, Jordan admits he held back at first, believing that if he didn't say anything controversial, he couldn't be edited poorly. But he quickly learned the show doesn't reward quiet strategy:“At the beginning, I was only saying things that I felt were necessary… and that's just not how the process works.”As the tasks intensified, Jordan found his stride. But one controversial final challenge—a gender-fluid fashion project—tested his instincts. He reveals he wanted to go a different direction but struggled under pressure:“I said I just don't think men wearing skirts is gonna sell… in hindsight, I should have stuck to my guns.”His honesty in discussing the clash between business sense and performative values is something listeners will find refreshingly grounded.Yet his most powerful moment came during a product pitch when he vulnerably shared details of a difficult childhood, connecting with buyers on a personal level. What viewers didn't fully see was the impact that had off-camera:“I opened up about that… and one of the buyers said he was sober for ten years and really resonated with it… there were real moments in it.”From being grilled over using brand logos without permission on his business website to being praised for his self-taught skills in 3D design, Jordan offers an unfiltered look at the highs and lows of the process. And while he didn't win, Lord Sugar saw enough in him to hand over something rarely offered—a personal phone number.“It's funny how quickly your life can change… just a year ago, I was delivering fruit and veg around Castleknock—now I'm delivering one-liners in the boardroom.”Jordan reflects on how the exposure has transformed his business, brought in clients, and even made him a role model to younger viewers:“What makes it all worth it is when kids come up to you saying they want to be a businessman because they saw you on The Apprentice.”He also talks about what viewers didn't see—the daily 20-minute wake-up calls, repeated takes for every scene, and how editing can shape public perception of each candidate. He even reveals who he thought should've made the final, and why he believes more Irish people should step up and apply:“We need representation over there. We need to get an Irish man to get his first win.”This episode offers a rare glimpse into the real Apprentice experience through the eyes of one of its most grounded and driven contestants. Whether you followed the series or not, Jordan's journey is one of resilience, reflection, and rising to the occasion when the odds are stacked against you.

Hiring a great candidate is one thing. Keeping them engaged, productive, and committed? That's where most companies fall apart. 24% of new hires quit within weeks when onboarding is a mess. But when it's done right, 69% stay for at least three years. In this episode, Manja Horner, founder of Boost LD, breaks down how to create an onboarding experience that:  ✅ Eliminates Day One Confusion – So new hires don't feel like an afterthought. ✅ Builds Instant Team Chemistry – Without forced, cringeworthy team-building exercises. ✅ Filters Out Bad Fits Early – Before you waste months training the wrong person. ✅ Gets Employees Contributing Fast – Because a long orientation doesn't pay the bills. This isn't another fluffy HR discussion. It's a deep dive into how construction leaders can get new hires up to speed faster, improve retention, and avoid costly hiring mistakes.     Key Takeaways 1. Most Companies Get Onboarding Wrong (Here's Why) They don't have a structured plan. New hires arrive to zero direction—no mentor, no schedule, no sense of belonging. The unspoken rule is: Figure it out yourself. (Which leads to expensive turnover.) 2. How to Create an Onboarding Process That Actually Works Pre-boarding starts before Day One – A welcome email, a checklist, and clear expectations prevent awkward first impressions. The First Day Focus: A proper welcome from leadership (not just HR). A mentor or peer buddy—not just the boss. A walk-through of “unwritten rules” (break times, expectations, team norms). The First Week: Start with job-relevant tasks—don't just drown them in paperwork. Introduce key players and give context on why their role matters. 3. The 30, 60, 90-Day Reality Check Hiring mistakes happen—but they shouldn't take a year to fix. How to structure the first three months to evaluate if a new hire is really a fit. The DCOM Framework for diagnosing performance issues: Direction – Did they get clear instructions? Competence – Do they have the skills? Obstacles – Are there barriers stopping them? Motivation – Do they even want to be there? 4. When to Show a New Leader the Hard Truth Every company has problems—how soon should you expose them to a new hire? Balancing cultural immersion with immediate strategic involvement. How to leverage their fresh perspective before they become “just another employee.” 5. What to Do When a New Hire Replaces a Popular Leader Navigating team loyalty. If the previous boss was loved, the new one has an uphill battle. Identifying the “informal leader” in the team—and turning them into an ally. Why trust-building must come before hard changes. 6. The Fastest Way to Get a New Hire Up to Speed (Even in a Technical Role) Capturing deep expertise before senior employees leave. The Camcorder Method: Using video documentation for faster knowledge transfer. Why hiring someone without technical knowledge requires intentional training.   Guest: Manja Horner

In this episode, we sit down with Rich and Zoe from Defiance Tools to hear how they went from buying an RV for business to workcamping in Yellowstone. They share insights on choosing the right RV, running a remote business, and adapting to seasonal work in a national park. From managing limited connectivity to scooping ice cream in Yellowstone, their journey is full of adventure, challenges, and surprises! If you've ever dreamed of workcamping in a national park or want practical tips on integrating RVing into your business, this episode is for you! Episode Guests Zoe and Rich started Defiance Tools to break away from the norm and to forge their own path. They believe in working hard while having fun doing it. They began their business as an online store but quickly learned they could also travel the country selling their product and exploring the diverse landscapes and cultures of the United States.  Their gear is small, compact, unique, and is perfect for vanlifers, overlanders, RV'ers, and anyone enjoying life in a small space.  Through their journey with Defiance Tools, Zoe and Rich not only sell products but also share their passion for adventure, encouraging a community of like-minded individuals to live more freely and explore more boldly. • Defiance Tools • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Defiance Tools Instagram • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Defiance Tools Facebook Resources Mentioned in this Episode - ⁠⁠Defiance Tools⁠ - Rich and Zoe's Yellowstone Adventure - Delaware North Workcamping Jobs - Yellowstone National Park Travel Guide - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We're the Russos YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter sign up⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book 1: Take Risks⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book 2: Tales From the Open Road⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Book a 60 Minute Call with Joe Are you buying your first RV or have questions about RVing?
