  • #390 - New Year New Strategy Setting Goals
    Jan 8 2026

    Here's the thing about goals and vision that nobody really talks about. You can spend weeks, months even, building out this perfect vision of where you want to go. Twenty-year plans, regional expansion strategies, revenue targets, all of it. And it's important work, don't get me wrong. But here's what I've learned: that vision means absolutely nothing if you're not executing on it today. Right now. In the next 24 hours.

  • #389 - Pre-Construction: Making Operations Smoother with Field Experience ft. Jake Jaenicke
    Jan 6 2026

    Joining us is Jake Jaenicke, Preconstruction Manager at Balfour Beatty Construction in San Diego. Jake spent nine years in project operations before moving into preconstruction, and across nearly 13 years he’s helped deliver more than $1B in education and civic work. He explains preconstruction simply: he works on the team that estimates, coordinates, and plans the construction process before mobilization. Jake’s guiding philosophy is to be someone people enjoy working with—and to let the results do the talking.
