In this episode…
It’s lonely at the top. Industry managers often struggle with unique challenges that their team members don’t face or understand. The construction industry is no exception. And, in a space that has a long-standing image of toughness, it can be difficult for construction industry managers to find other leaders they can turn to for support.
That’s why Jeremy Owens launched US Construction Zone, a peer network for leaders and managers in the construction industry. Construction has one of the highest suicide rates of any industry in the US. Jeremy understands the importance of mental health and professional support in an industry that is dominated by harmful stereotypes and unique challenges.
In this episode of Get the Intel, Chad Gill sits down with Jeremy Owens, the CEO of US Construction Zone, a network that seeks to create a space where construction industry managers can turn to peers who understand their challenges.
