  Ep.10 - Health & Safety 2.0

  May 25, 20269 minS1

  <p>In this solo episode, Angelo Suntres examines the gap between how the construction industry handles physical injuries and mental health challenges.

  Ep.7 - Wake Up - Awareness Doesn't Save Lives

  May 4, 202651 minS1

  <p>Episode Summary</p><p>Josh Vitale — co-founder of Project Built, chair of Construction Suicide Prevention Week, and a self-described recovering superintendent — joins Angelo to dismantle the comfortable lie that awareness alone is solving construction's mental health crisis. They get into the data we don't quote, the family disconnection thread that runs through every superintendent he's ever met, the CEO whose strategy was to wait the obstructionists out, and the cocaine-mice study that explains why our job sites are breaking people. If you lead anyone in construction, this conversation is the one to share.</p><p> </p><p>Topics Covered</p><p>...
