This episode is dedicated to workers and foremen who want to take their next step but feel stuck, unsure, or intimidated by what comes next. Jason shares a key epiphany about why people stall in their careers and explains the real skills gap that holds foremen back from advancing. If you want to move forward with confidence instead of fear, this episode lays out a clear, practical path.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:
· Why career growth doesn't happen automatically—you have to force the jump
· The hidden skills that stop foremen from advancing beyond early superintendent levels
· Why technology, organization, and communication are the real barriers (not intelligence)
· How fear of computers, email, and systems quietly limits career progression
· Why the field engineer path accelerates long-term growth
· The four core skill sets every future superintendent must master
· How to train yourself if you don't have access to formal programs
· What it actually takes to move from foreman to high-level leadership
If you're a worker or foreman who wants more—more responsibility, more opportunity, more impact this episode is your wake-up call. Don't wait for someone to notice you or promote you. Take ownership of your growth, force the learning curve, and build the skills that unlock your next level.
If you need help creating that path or want guidance on where to start, reach out, take action, and commit to your future.
