Summary
In this bonus episode of Activating Curiosity, Ryan Ware discusses that change doesn’t happen overnight, it starts with a shift in mindset and the courage to do things differently. Ryan explores how two organizations, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) sparked real change in the construction industry.

He explores the history and role of the organizations in driving change and the need for individuals to take responsibility for their part in the industry's evolution. The conversation highlights the challenges faced and the opportunities available for innovation and change in construction.
