  • Highest WPM

    Something I require in Podcasts I subscribe to is a high WPM (Wisdom per Minute). This pod has that, PLUS it includes another version of WPM (Wisecrack per Minute).

    If you are tied in any way to residential or commercial construction, and enjoy an occasional giggle, this pod’s for you!

  • Good info for all industries

    Despite not being in building/lumber I enjoy many of these podcasts. Good leadership ideas and good interviews are time well spent for me. I especially like hearing from women and BIPOC guests who are often up against extra hurdles in the leadership positions in this industry. Learning about the tenacity required to thrive is encouraging and applicable to me. Thanks!
