In this episode, Chad and Matt start by bragging about drinking non-alcoholic beers and considering a new rule for the podcast (Should dress code matter?) Then, they get into the meat of their discussion: how do you balance running a lean business with keeping your people from burning out? They explore a company’s role in preventing burnout, how to identify overwork, and some practices that can help you strike the right balance in your business. Next, they move into a (weak) argument about whether you hire first or get work first, before finally talking about what books they’re reading. This was a fun one. 0:00 What is the "Well-Built" series? 5:40 Check-Ins! 6:20 Agenda 9:11 Have you ever felt like you were running too lean? 26:16 What is a reasonable expectation for a construction company to cater to spouses? 31:22 When do you know as a manager you’re running too lean? 59:25 Thanks for joining us!
