  • How mentorship and Kaizen drive continuous improvement on every project
  • Why finding “flow” matters, whether you’re welding steel or playing jazz
  • How standardization paves the way for AI in construction
  • What owners, GCs, and project teams can do to improve safety and productivity
  • Why storytelling and leadership are essential for lasting cultural change

With decades of experience, Charlie shares practical insights that connect field work to big-picture strategy. If you want to lead better, reduce risk, and deliver projects more effectively, this conversation is for you.
