"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.
If you've ever said "we'll figure it out in the field" or felt the pressure to crash-land a project, this episode is your wake-up call.
