He talks about the responsibility of leaving your fingerprints on every project, every relationship, and the culture you’re building.At the heart of that perspective is a legacy. DJ reflects on the influence of his grandfather and father, who invested in him and helped shape the values that continue to guide Paul Risk Construction today. Through seasons of challenge and success, they built more than projects—they built leaders.If you’ve heard of Paul Risk Construction, seen DJ’s posts online, or wondered who the people behind the company really are, this conversation offers an honest look beyond the brand. Our hope is that you’ll discover not only the story of Paul Risk Construction and the men and women who make it what it is, but also the fingerprints of leadership that are left behind when people choose to lead with character, humility, and purpose.This is The Line—real conversations with the men and women who build America .-------------------------- WHERE TO WATCH:Spotify ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/07rT0hF...Apple ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... ------------------------- FOLLOW JOSH:X: https://x.com/Joshuadmellott⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠... / joshuadmellott LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ucc11qg6hxwp7tmvmr_sv7vg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------- FOLLOW BLACKLINE: @blacklineltdInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / blacklinelt. .Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...LinkedIn: / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / @blacklineltd Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http…","meta_description":"This week on The Line, DJ Risk steps up to the line.In this conversation, DJ shares what leadership really looks like—not from behind a logo, a LinkedIn p…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3334,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-line-6729441/episodes/the-fingerprints-of-leadership-ft-dj-risk-ep-143/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-line-6729441/the-fingerprints-of-leadership-ft-dj-risk-ep-143.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
