Jason and Katie Schroeder record a fun, off the cuff episode on the way to Home Depot to grab Halloween decorations. They make the case for going all in on the holidays, why fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are worth celebrating with full intention, and how decorating the project trailer, the office, and the home creates the kind of energy that pulls families and teams together. Katie shares the traditions that work in their family of eleven, and Jason challenges every leader in construction to bring a little whimsy into the trailer.
What you'll learn in this episode:
-
Why holidays are a powerful tool for connection at home, on the project, and in the office
-
How Jason turned the research laboratory trailer into a full Halloween experience for the team
-
The Schroeder family traditions: Nightmare Before Christmas, spooky stories, drives to look at decorations
-
Why a worker barbecue or pie Friday during a tough project gives back more than it costs
-
The minimum expectations: a scent, a pumpkin, some lights, and a fall barbecue with the crew
If construction is a stressful and serious industry, levity is not a luxury. It's a leadership move.
