In this episode, Jason dives into a powerful concept: lore the unwritten traditions and "common knowledge" passed down in construction that often go unquestioned. The problem? Much of it is wrong. From the belief that you can only pick two of three cost, schedule, or quality to the idea that the solution to being behind is simply to push harder, Jason explains how these false traditions quietly shape behaviors that hurt projects, damage relationships, and limit performance. He challenges leaders to think critically about what they've inherited, question long-held assumptions, and replace outdated lore with production principles, respect for people, and flow-based thinking that actually works.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- What "lore" is and why it spreads in construction.
- Common industry myths that sabotage performance.
- Why pushing harder doesn't fix bad planning.
- How false traditions block innovation and respect.
- The importance of questioning assumptions to elevate the industry.
This episode is a call to think critically, challenge tradition, and build better systems instead of repeating inherited mistakes.
