Inside “Final Phase” - The Cleaning Company Raising the Bar in Construction What happens when a team obsessed with quality, lean principles, and customer care decides to start a construction cleaning company? You get Final Phase and it's not your typical trade partner. In this episode, Jason Schroeder sits down with Matthew, Kevin, and Emilio to reveal: The real story behind Final Phase's launch and why it's more than “just a cleaning company.” How Matthew grew a previous cleaning business from $300K to over $1.5M annually and plans to do it again (bigger this time). Why Elevate Construction's brand and lean approach mean Final Phase can't afford to do anything less than excellent work. How their systems, staffing, and obsessive attention to detail will deliver spotless results literally and figuratively. The big ask: why they want your projects and how they'll turn them into showcases for the entire industry. Whether you're a GC, a trade partner, or just curious about building something remarkable, this is a behind-the-scenes look at launching a company that's set to change the game in construction cleaning.

This week on The New Arab Voice, we look at the recent ceasefire agreement between the PKK and the Turkish state. The Kurdistan's Worker's Party (PKK) and the Turkish state have been in a state of conflict since 1984. The conflict has killed over 35,000 people and achieved little, for either side. But now, a ceasefire has been announced. In a symbolic ceremony, PKK fighters burnt their arms in Sulaimaniyah, Iraq; and more recently, a commission was started at the Turkish Parliament to discuss the Turkish parliament. Is this the opportunity for Kurds to secure their rights in Turkey? Why is the Turkish state agreeing to a ceasefire now? Is President Erdogan using the ceasefire talks to increase his grip on power?Joining us to examine the Kurdish position, we speak with Dr. Salim Çevik (@salimcevikk), a visiting fellow at the Centre for Applied Turkey Studies (@CATS_Network) at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (@SWPBerlin).And to guide us through Turkish thinking, we speak with Henri Barkey (@hbarkey), adjunct senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations (@CFR_org) and the Bernard L. and Bertha F. Cohen chair in international relations at Lehigh University (Emeritus) (@LehighU).

'His Eyes Were Soulless' EXCLUSIVE Interview With Salon Worker & Her Terrifying Brush With Alleged Devils Den Killer James McGann In an exclusive and chilling interview, we sit down with Adriana, the hairstylist whose ordinary day turned into a nightmare when accused Devil's Den double homicide suspect, James Andrew McGann, sat down in her chair for a haircut. Adriana vividly recalls the unsettling feeling she got from McGann's presence, describing his eyes as "soulless," and the way his neglected appearance and eerie silence heightened her suspicion that something was deeply wrong. Little did she know, detectives were already closing in, and just moments into the haircut, police stormed the salon, arresting McGann in front of her eyes. Adriana bravely shares every detail, from her initial unease and attempts to calmly do her job, to the dramatic arrest and subsequent realization that she had come face-to-face with a suspected killer. She also candidly addresses the lingering trauma and emotional impact of that day, emphasizing, "I'm not a hero—the heroes are the little girls and the parents who protected them."

This week on the Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: What happens when union leadership tries to shut down support for women, LGBTQ members, Black and Latino caucuses—all in the name of “compliance”? On the Labor Notes Podcast, the rank and file are pushing back inside the building trades, and they're not backing down. Then: over in Boston, the Pipe Up podcast is thinking outside the pipe—literally. If electricians can represent blackjack dealers, why can't plumbers organize chimney sweeps? We'll also hear from Working to Live in Southwest Washington, where delegates reflect on solidarity and strategy at the Washington State Labor Council convention. Why “everybody should be union”? Let's just say it starts with healthcare—and ends with dignity. From Cincinnati's Boiling Point to labor YouTubers calling for collectivization over corporatization, this week's shows aren't afraid to tackle the deep questions: Who gets a voice in our unions? What kind of future are we organizing for? And how do we fight disinformation at the hyperlocal level? And speaking of solidarity: you don't want to miss out on participating in the Unions Power America sweepstakes      ! It's your chance to win cash prizes—just for being union. But it's about more than the money. It's about showing the country that union members make America work. Enter today at UnionsPowerAmerica.org and share what union power means to you. No purchase necessary. That's UnionsPowerAmerica.org. Full rules on the site. Don't miss out—Labor Day is almost here! From contract fights to community radio, you'll hear the voices of working people telling their own stories—in their own words.

Let's make one thing clear: you don't win the next job in the interview room, you win it on the current jobsite. In this landmark 1400th episode, Jason Schroeder flips the script on traditional sales thinking and makes a bold declaration: Quality comes before sales always. Whether you're a general superintendent, PM, or trade partner, this episode is a masterclass in how to build a remarkable reputation that sells itself.

In this powerhouse episode, Jason Schroeder is joined by Lean legend Hal Macomber, who shares jaw-dropping insights from decades of experience revolutionizing how we build. From set-based design to macro-level takt planning, Hal breaks down why takt construction isn't just a theory - it's the only way forward. What you'll learn in this episode: Why execution at the work face matters more than perfect planning. How to design with constraints as a strength, not a limitation. Why early trade partner selection and training changes everything. The truth about CPM vs. Takt and why one aligns with production science, and the other doesn't. What Hal learned delivering a 3,500-person, $multi-million project in 28 months. Packed with analogies (think: sailing from Boston to Maine) and practical frameworks, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about planning and building projects, especially if you care about flow, certainty, and remarkable results.

This one hits deep. In this episode, Jason Schroeder pulls no punches as he unpacks a hot-button topic that's stirring up the construction world: Is Critical Path Method (CPM) helping or hurting our projects?

Framers & Concrete Crews - We Need to Talk!  In this straight-shooting episode of the Elevate Construction Podcast, Jason Schroeder dives into a conversation the industry needs to have: framers and concrete crews asking for the entire jobsite and how it's slowing down your projects.

You'll hear about: Why working harder isn't the same as working smarter. How hustle culture is rooted in shame not strategy. What lean construction teaches us about sustainable success.

Why Every Project Needs a “Situation Room” In this episode, Jason Schroeder introduces a game-changing idea for modern construction: the Situation Room - a centralized command space to monitor, plan, and respond in real-time. Inspired by legendary builds like the Empire State Building and Boulder Dam, Jason makes the case for creating dedicated rooms where project leaders aren't just reacting, they're orchestrating. From macro Takt plans and KPIs to 3D models and comms access, this isn't just a conference room, it's a mission control for your project. In this episode, you'll discover: What a Situation Room is (and what it's not). How it can radically reduce communication lag and improve flow. Why this approach is essential for both in-person and remote project leadership. The real-world tech setup and layout to make it work on-site.   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
