Send us a textHey my beautiful friends!This week, I laced up my sneakers and ran a 5K… and let me tell you, it was not as easy as I thought it would be. Even with all the hiking I've been doing, jogging reminded me that growth doesn't always feel graceful. But that's the thing—it doesn't have to. In this episode, I'm diving into the power of boldness—what it means, how we can cultivate it gently, and why it matters so deeply for our physical and emotional wellness. I'm sharing some thoughts inspired by Tamara Levitt's meditation on gentle boldness, my own experiences from training, and some research-backed reasons to step outside our comfort zones—even just a little bit. We'll talk about how boldness shows up in our work, our relationships, and our weight loss journeys. I'll also share a few gentle, doable ways to get started being a little bolder in your life today. I can't wait for you to listen in and maybe take your own bold step this week.Until next time, stay bold and take care!  — Fi  Quote of the Week“The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.”— Amelia Earhart References·      Wood, C., Linley, P.

Inside this episode: Why over-perfection is waste, not leadership. How credentials and certifications mean nothing without execution. The difference between aesthetic checklists and real project outcomes. Why great builders simplify, reduce, and enable not complicate. A powerful listener story that proves culture and connection drive performance. If you're more focused on dotting I's than delivering results, it's time to step back and rethink your impact.

In Episode 1378 of the Elevate Construction Podcast, Jason Schroeder draws a bold parallel between Pixar's recent failure with Elio and what's happening on too many job sites: over-sanitized planning, zero boldness, and teams afraid to lead with vision. Tune in to hear: Why PPC (Percent Plan Complete) is overrated and what actually drives performance. How over-engineering risk reviews can leave you with a “milk toast” project.

With a mission to reconnect one million people through the power of empathy, Mimi brings years of research, corporate training, and lived experience to a timely and transformational conversation - one that reveals how empathy shapes leadership, drives innovation, and transforms the way we connect with ourselves and others. Check out Elena's website to learn more about how she can support you in seeing and using the power that resides within you. Mimi shares the pivotal moment that redefined her career: a simple yet life-changing question posed by a coach “Is it intuition or empathy you're using to lead?” That question led her down a path of deep exploration into empathy as a skill, not just a feeling. From the neuroscience behind attunement to real-life stories of unexpected connection, Mimi illustrates how empathy is not just a soft skill, but a necessary foundation for resilient cultures and impactful leadership. The conversation also addresses common misconceptions that empathy means agreement or emotional overload. They invite leaders to see empathy as a form of grounded presence - one that enables performance, clarity, and deeper human connection. Whether in a boardroom or a coffee line, the smallest acts of care can create lasting ripples. This episode is an invitation to slow down and reconnect - with yourself, with others, and with the purpose behind your leadership. It offers a powerful reminder: empathy isn't optional. It's a strategic essential for sustainable impact, meaningful connection, and real change.

Episode Summary: This week we're taking a deep dive into deterrence, specifically deterring China from using force in space. Air University's China Aerospace Studies Institute (CASI), in partnership with the Center for Naval Analysis (CNA), just released a new report exploring this topic. Results suggest that the U.S. security establishment has serious room for growth. Their experts analyzed ten different factors that assessed how the U.S. can deter China, but only two were rated in a favorable light. The rest need more development. While conflict in space is not inevitable, the folks at CNA and CASI found that we've got a long way to go when it comes to boosting our ability to deter conflict on orbit. To help us understand the report, its findings, and its recommendations, Charles Galbreath and Jennifer Reeves of the Mitchel Institute chat with Dr. Kevin Pollpeter of CASI, plus Dr. April Herlevi and Elizabeth Barrett of CNA.

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.

Send us a textHey my beautiful friends –This week's conversation was sparked by a funny little tech discovery and a box I mailed — both of which got me thinking about food in a new way. You know how people are always quick to tell you what not to eat? Well, this week we flip the script. I'm sharing thoughts from my own journey and a coach that made me laugh and think — and you'll hear why his words still stick with me to this day. We're keeping things simple, kind, and grounded in something real. I'm not handing out rules, I'm sharing a mindset and maybe even a little inspiration for your next grocery run or packed lunch. And as always, we'll close with a little heart lift — this one from Michael Pollan, who said, “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”Come hang out with me, and let's talk about what loves us back. References:1.    Zhang & Talalay, Frontiers in Nutrition, 20232.    Liu, Nutrients, 20233.    Viguiliouk et al., Obesity Reviews, 20234.    Jenkins et al., AJCN, 20245.    Estruch et al., The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, 20236.    Guasch-Ferré et al., BMJ, 20237.    Yao et al., Nutrients, 20238.    Harvard Nurses' Health Study Update, 20239.    Anderson et al., AJCN, 202410.Simopoulos, Frontiers in Endocrinology, 202311.Ye et al., Nutrients, 202312.Sonnenburg et al., Cell Metabolism, 202413.Mozaffarian et al., AJCN, 202314.Mastrocola et al., Appetite, 202315.Pollan, M.

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

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.

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).

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.

“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.
