Hosted by Bradley Hartmann—author of 15 books for the construction industry who teaches leadership in the University of Oklahoma’s Master’s program for construction professionals—each episode delivers real-world lessons for real-world builders.
You’ll learn how to:
• Lead change with less resistance using field-tested strategies that increase engagement

New episodes drop every Tuesday and Thursday.
