There's a question Jesse asks in this week's episode that most people have never sat with: "What can I realistically carry this week without dropping something important?" Not "how much can I fit in." Not "what's on the list." What can I actually carry. The difference sounds small. It's not.…

Most construction owners treat insurance like a bill they just have to pay. Micah Salas thinks that's exactly why they overpay. Micah is an Austin-based commercial insurance author and the guy who wrote The Business Insurance Playbook — not for agents, but for owners like you. In this episode, he…

Every construction owner shops their insurance the same way they shop everything else. Get three bids. Pick the best price. Move on. But insurance doesn't work like anything else you buy. Micah Salas has been simplifying commercial insurance for construction companies for 15 years. And he uses one analogy that…
Nobody budgets for the fender bender. Nobody has a line item on their P&L that says "250K just in case." But when it happens — and it happens — that's exactly what it costs. Most construction companies know they should be taking protective action. Better driver policies. Dash cams. Proper…
Most construction owners think they have options when it comes to insurance. They don't. Not really. Once you factor in geography, scope of work, and company size — the pool shrinks fast. And the way most owners go to market locks them out of the best ones before they even…
For years Jesse believed that sleeping enough, exercising, and building habits for himself meant he was giving up time he could be spending on the work. He was wrong. The moment he started honoring himself first — his output at work got better. His clients got more. His business grew.…
You can be great at your job and still be losing the parts of life that actually make success worth it. That’s where we start: the quiet trade so many high performers make, sacrificing sleep, health, learning, and real presence with the people we love so we can keep delivering,…
At 30 years old Jesse got a warning from his doctor that stopped him cold. His body had the complications of a morbidly obese older man. He wasn't obese. He was a high performer. Grinding. Delivering. Giving everything to the job and the people around him. And quietly destroying himself…
Most time management advice gets one thing completely wrong. It teaches you how to get more efficient. It never asks what you're getting efficient for. So you time block. You optimize. You claw back hours in your day. And then watch that new time disappear into the same pile of…

Not enough people. A suicide epidemic. Mental health and substance abuse running through the industry like a current nobody acknowledges. That's the reality of construction right now. But the companies winning aren't the ones with the best benefits package. They're the ones making their people feel like they actually matter.…
Most people in construction get promoted and handed a completely different job with the same title. No roadmap. No manual. No honest conversation about what moving up is actually going to cost them. Gary Borque lived that. Multiple times. He started as a fabricator, worked his way through the millwright…
You worked your way up. You earned the title. And the moment you got there — you felt like a fraud. Gary Borque went from fabricator to director of field operations and lived every hard version of that transition. In this episode he gets honest about what moving up in…
Everyone talks about climbing the ladder in construction. Nobody talks about what happens when you get there and still feel like you don't belong. Gary Borque went from fabricator to director of field operations. And somewhere in that climb he hit a wall that had nothing to do with the…
Every tradesman has worked for that guy. The one who tears people down instead of building them up. The one who leads with fear because it's the only tool he knows. Gary Borque worked for those guys too. And instead of becoming one of them he made a different choice…
