What if every great builder, no matter the project or material, is really doing the same three things?

In this episode, Jason rides along with Iron Mark’s Alex Nolan for a candid, in-the-truck conversation about the mindset that separates good builders from great ones. From carpentry apprenticeships to field engineering, from superintendents to mechanics, they trace every trade and leadership skill back to one timeless foundation - Plumb, Level, and Square.

You’ll hear:

• Why carpenters make some of the best superintendents and leaders in construction.

• How mastering the fundamentals translates into any career or trade.

• The hidden art of negotiation every great superintendent practices daily.

• What happens when sequence, precision, and mindset all align.

• Why “good people are good people” and how to find and grow them on your team.

If you’ve ever wondered what separates a chaotic jobsite from a high-performing one, this episode nails it: everything starts with fundamentals.

Listen now and rediscover why Plumb, Level, and Square still build the world.
