About this listen
Dillon covers three topics in one: how to build real training systems for your crew, what a day in the life actually looks like running an engineering firm, and how the real world stacks up against what you learned in school. He breaks down why contractors need documented processes for even the most basic tasks — from checking in at a job site to making coffee — and how AI can help you build those systems fast. Then he pulls back the curtain on his own chaotic schedule of back-to-back calls, red-eye flights, and weekend project reviews, before laying out what he expects from interns and new hires: meet your deadlines, do good work, and enjoy the ride. A candid look at what it really takes to build a high-performing team in the construction and engineering world.
