He Says What Other Lawyers Won't w/ Matt Margolis (DT 471)
Matt Margolis w/ Margolis Law – DT 471
Matt Margolis is the founder of Margolis Law, based out of West Palm Beach, Florida. He built his entire practice on being the only lawyer in the room willing to tell clients what their contracts are actually doing to them, and one of the few legal voices in the industry making the case that most construction companies are one bad clause away from a problem they never saw coming. He breaks down why the standard construction contract has become a weapon that protects nobody, and why the contractors who treat legal as an afterthought aren't just taking on risk, they're handing it to everyone around them.

Jim Rhodes is the Senior Vice President at Wayne Brothers Companies, a 750-person civil construction firm operating across the Southeast, the Chairman of ReGroup Carolinas, an Industry Advisory Board Member at UNC Charlotte. He reveals why the industry's workforce problem is a leadership problem disguised as a labor shortage, and why the companies willing to share ownership aren't just retaining people — they're building something worth staying for.

Your Labor Shortage Is a Leadership Shortage w/ Nic Parish (DT 467)
Nic Parish is the CEO of Burns Dirt, a civil construction company his grandfather and great-uncle started with two dump trucks in 1977, and a speaker who showed up to his first major keynote expecting 40 people and walked into a standing-room audience of 250. He spent a decade quietly stepping into a leadership role he never formally asked for, only to find himself mid-conversation trying to untangle a decade-long family buyout while figuring out who he was inside a company built by the people who raised him. He reveals why construction's people problem isn't a skills gap but a leadership gap, and why the contractors still blaming the next generation for being unprepared are ignoring the fact that they're the ones who raised them.

Your Office is an Operating System w/ Sean Dineen – DT 465
Sean Dineen is the founder of Iron Age Office, a furniture company he built from a single desk listed on Etsy while coaching soccer as a 23-year-old Brit who had just arrived in America with a graphic design degree and no plan. He faked a full product catalog using digitally rendered images until the real orders started coming in, grew the business to 60 employees and an 80,000-square-foot workshop making everything in the US, and quietly became the construction industry's most unexpected vendor. He reveals why your office isn't furniture but an operating system for culture, and why the contractors still treating their workspace like a bank lobby aren't just missing a design opportunity — they're leaving their people with nothing to believe in.
