Six weeks ahead is 2 weeks behind is our Mantra. "No craftsmanship in management" that Statement blew my mind. Thanks for all you do Sir. We are better with you helping us. Learning a lot.

What a lovely time to get some tips since I’m starting a new hole

Hi Jason, good video, super excited for another of your Canva pages. The link did require me to request access.

[@steveochillo4365]

Good message Jason. Learning from you everyday. Request please, can you do a topic on DELEGATION OF DUTIES? Thanks

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

Have you seen the delegate video?

[@jordanmorales8610]

Love your videos. Can you do one on how Superintendents from the college to PE pipeline earn respect from the craft? Seems hard to get without craft experience.

[@gagerowden4564]

I didn’t go through the trades. I’m 25 years old and the best way is to show up everyday, be a sponge and learn as much as you can. Give respect and you’ll get respect. Keep your head up and don’t let people put you down.

[@pmaestas93]

No one really cares. I haven't had a single super that I wondered if they're from the trade or not. As long as you know what you're doing, you'll have respect. If you don't, you'll get alot of pushback.

Jason, there is an issue with the Canva link regarding permissions and not being able to see the document. Can you look at this, please? Fantastic video by the way! I’ve been sending these to my project engineers.
