This episode is a re-run. It was originally published in June 2023.
Leading a team is more like training cats than dogs.
Cian Brennan sits down with Matt Wilk from Builderpedia for a two-parter on leadership, project management, and the game of contracts most subcontractors don't even know they're playing.
Why projects always blow the budget, what your contract should say when they do, and the one question that changes every client meeting: "what are your objectives?"
Give it a listen.
