When it comes to commercial building construction in Central North Carolina, it would be hard to find a more influential person than Mike Lancaster. From the new Care Tower at the Atrium Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, to the Qubein Children's Museum in High Point to the first phase of the Lenovo Center renovation in Raleigh, Lancaster has been heavily involved. He's the president and CEO of Blum Construction, a 100+ year old company based in Winston-Salem. In this episode, he discusses with Neill McNeill what it's taken to win and complete these projects, some of his industry's biggest challenges, his biggest mistake, and what he looks for when it comes to hiring people. If you or someone you know has ever had a desire to go into construction, this is like a master class.
