Description

In this episode, Jason Schroeder and Mark Story dig into what it really takes to scale a construction business because winning bigger work is easy compared to delivering it. They explain why companies fail when they scale revenue without scaling people, why "panic hiring" destroys projects, and how the only reliable path is to work backwards: define the target, then build the training systems, meeting cadence, and leadership capability to match it. 

What You'll Learn In This Episode:

• Why scaling work without scaling people creates predictable project failure.
• How to "work it backwards" from growth targets to the training and leadership capacity required.
• Why panic hiring and "winging it" on big jobs leads to toxic behavior and blown outcomes.
• How consistent meeting systems and long-term planning blocks create stability and recovery.
• Why training camps beat incentives and how building people prevents write-downs and burnout.

If you're trying to grow, are you building the system and the people first or just hoping the next big job won't expose the gaps?
