In this episode of Rants & Gems, host MG The Mortgage Guy (Matt Garland) sits down with Paul Robinson, Founder & CEO of ConstructReach, to talk about the future of construction, workforce development, diversity, and generational opportunity in America.
Paul shares how his company is partnering with major corporations like Target, Procore, ICC, and Skanska to introduce Gen Z and underrepresented communities to careers in construction — helping solve the national labor shortage while changing the image of the trades.
They dive into what it really takes to build the next generation of skilled workers, how AI, robotics, and modular construction are transforming job sites, and why young people should be thinking beyond college degrees and looking at trade careers, project management, and entrepreneurship.
If you’re passionate about economic empowerment, community development, real estate, and the future of work, this episode is for you.
