But what it represents isn’t simple at all. It’s legacy. It’s ownership. It’s a reminder of who you’re building for.From there, Herb shares what he, his grandfather, and the Sargent family have seen over the past 100 years—the lessons, the mistakes, and what it really takes to build something that lasts.We talk honestly about today’s construction economy and what it’s doing to contractors and their people. How many are hanging on for dear life, like they built a rocket… but don’t know how to fly it.This conversation is raw. It’s honest. And it gets to the heart of building with intention.This episode is about being strategic, being effective, and building companies designed to last 100 years—not just survive the next one.Grateful for the time, the conversation, and what Sargent continues to model. --------------------------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: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.blacklineltd.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠--------------------------EXPLORE THE PODCAST⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify: ht…","meta_description":"The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday | Part 2 with Herb SargentIn part two of our conversation with Herb Sargent, we go beyond business and get into perspectiv…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4492,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-line-6729441/episodes/the-only-easy-day-was-yesterday-part-2-ft-herb-sargent-ep-132/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-only-easy-day-was-yesterday-part-2-ft-herb-sargent-ep-132.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
