    Why Your Employees Are IMPATIENT (and How to Turn It Into an Advantage)
    2024/11/04
    This week, Taylor sits down for an informative and inspiring conversation with Nic Parish, VP of Contracting and Operations at Burns Dirt Construction, and a key player in FORGE Your Path, a nonprofit dedicated to encouraging the next generation to explore careers in the trades. In this fascinating episode, Taylor and Nic dive into the importance of trades education, the challenges of running a family business, and how to create pathways for young people to develop meaningful careers in construction. Nic shares his journey, from growing up in the family business to helping launch programs that teach essential skills like operating heavy equipment and leadership. He and Taylor go on to discuss the evolution of construction work, dealing with the pressure of running a company, and the need to instill leadership qualities in new generations to fill the growing skills gap. Alongside that, our special guest’s passion for mentoring the next wave of tradespeople through FORGE Your Path and the Burns Built Academy shines through as he recounts the impact these initiatives have had on his community and industry. Nic’s dedication to empowering young people, supporting mental health, and fostering a culture of continuous growth is on full display here today, serving as a powerful reminder that investing in people is the key to long-term success in any industry. Episode Highlights: Challenges of running a family business Importance of leadership and mental well-being for success FORGE Your Path: nonprofit introducing students to trades Burns Built Academy: technical and leadership training for employees Continued education to close the construction skills gap Supportive, growth-focused company culture Addressing mental health in leadership roles Emphasizing leadership development alongside technical skills Key Takeaways: "You can only make a bulldozer work as well as the person running it. Good people make good machines effective.” "FORGE Your Path was born out of us asking, 'What are we going to do about it?' Instead of just complaining about the labor shortage." "It's not that the next generation is lazy; they just want to learn and progress faster." "I realized that I wasn’t trapped by my business. I had the opportunity to impact the lives of 300 people and their families." "We’re not just training students on how to operate machinery; we’re teaching them how to be leaders." "Leadership is more important than skills because leadership is what drives the work forward." "FORGE Your Path isn’t about making a profit—it’s about creating opportunities for the future." "The construction industry isn’t just about holding a stop sign on the side of the road; it’s about building a future." "We have to flip the traditional education model—learning doesn’t stop when you leave school. We’re building a school within our company." "Mental health is something we need to talk about more, especially in our industry, where the pressure can be overwhelming."
