This week, I want to show you what that looks like over time. Because honestly, what I wish someone had handed me at the start of my career wasn't just encouragement. It was context. I needed to hear how different environments teach you radically different lessons about construction, managing projects, and building a business. So this isn't a pep talk about mindset. This is about learning by doing : What I picked up in the intensity of ultra high-end New York projects 30 years ago The (often humbling) early years of starting my own firm and still underpricing everything And what finally clicked, a decade ago, as my experience outgrew how I was positioning myself. If you've ever felt capable but underpaid, seasoned but still questioned, or sure of your work but unsure how to charge for the responsibility? This episode is for you.
