As part of Construction Junkie’s annual Best Construction Podcast of 2020 Competition, I have been highlighting each one of this year’s 12 nominees. Next up is The Construction Management Podcast.
The Construction Management Podcast is hosted by industry professionals Damien Edwards and Jason Shipe and bring their years of knowledge and experience from their past and current roles in the construction industry, as superintendents, project managers, and business owners. The duo talk about a ton of interesting and relevant topics for construction managers, like managing clients, dealing with underperforming trades, and QA/QC.
I was first introduced to their show when I listened to an earlier episode titled “Ethics,” which I thought was a real and informative examination of the moral gray area that construction can live in. With the combined experience of the two hosts, discussions like this are typical across many of their 47 episodes that they have released.
Some episodes are discussions between the two hosts, others include interviews with a wide variety of industry guests, like app makers, apparel brands, construction humanitarian companies, and many more. Other episodes include discussions with listeners who also work in the industry.
A recent episode, titled “Difficult clients and bosses that don’t support you” tackled how to deal with lack of support from both ends of the spectrum. It’s bad enough when your customer causes unnecessary problems, but perhaps even worse is when your leadership throws you under the bus. The episode includes a back and forth discussion with the actual person having the issue and it provides some pretty great perspective and advice from both of the hosts.
