OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
What does it take to go from pushing brooms to leading as a superintendent in just a few years? In this episode, we sit down with Steven Shannon of Sky Blue Builders, alongside Kate Schroeder, to unpack the habits, systems, and mindset shifts that transformed his career and his life.
Steven opens up about his path in construction, the power of mentorship, and how lessons from our Super PM Boot Camp changed the way he works and leads. From implementing self-care routines to mastering pull planning and meeting cadences, he shares how small changes created big results.
But this conversation doesn't shy away from the hard stuff. Steven gets real about mistakes that cost time and money and how his company's culture of learning over punishment helped him grow stronger. Together, we explore why failure normalization matters, how to get teams to truly buy into new systems, and why rhythm not overexertion is the secret to sustainable success in construction.
This is an honest, practical, and inspiring episode for anyone who wants to build better, lead better, and live better.
