Description

Jason and John Coffman tell the button story from a chaotic Fort Worth job, where a general superintendent handed out we can do it buttons to fight rampant negativity during constant client changes. John explains the difference between blind optimism and optimism grounded in a real plan, and they close on a simple, powerful choice everyone faces.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How the buttons turned a job's negativity into momentum
• Why separating change order work from contract work protected the schedule
• The real difference between blind optimism and grounded optimism
• Why pessimism about solutions is always destructive
• Why every day comes down to choosing to live or choosing to die

If your team has been beaten down by constant changes and setbacks, the real challenge is building a plan grounded enough to be genuinely optimistic about, then choosing to live it out loud.
