MAINTAINING FOCUS
In this episode, Jesus (as his mom calls him!) Hernandez opens up and tells us all about who he is by shouting out so many others! Jesse informs The Lean Builder nation the ways he is changing the construction industry. Chuy tells us about how much he misses the jobsite razzing and joking. All you have to do is be smarter than the pipe!
Jesus, Jesse, and Chuy discuss how HE is changing the image of the Skilled Trades through:
- Learnings and Missteps Podcast
- No BS with Jen & Jess
- Skilled Trades Alliance
- Seacoast School Livestreams
He discusses how important it is to identify how you learn. If you’re attracted to senses, then the Skilled Trades might be the way to go! You can see it, touch it, smell it, but Jesse does not recommend you taste the jobsite! No licking door knobs! Shoutouts go to Ultra Steve Turner with Bring Back The Trades and NCCER’s Build Your Future program!
Jesse gives away his secrets on how he comes up with the right question, in the right moment. He shares three pages of notes on how he has designed his life in order to FOCUS! Those notes are here for your reference. Helping people truly explore their thinking and self-discover themselves.
Do you practice lean to maximize the output OR do you practice lean to make the work easier for the people doing the work? If you’re not getting buy in, then you’re going to want to listen in to exactly what SI (Sweatquity Improvement) is all about!
The learnings in this episode are UNREAL! Enjoy y’all!
