On this episode, we are joined by Mike Trulove -- Senior Project Manager at CDI Contractors.
Mike's success story began chasing gold buckle dreams as a professional bull rider in Austin, TX. Along the way, he was running his own fencing company on the side, when all of a sudden, he suffered a career-ending injury. After his bull riding career ended, he joined KB Home for about 2 years, superintending 60 to 80 homes at a time.

He decided he wanted to get into the commercial side of construction as the residential construction market saw a crash, which led to him joining Hensel Phelps as a field engineer. Along the way, Mike applied an impressive work ethic coupled with a growth mindset and a high self-awareness to help him grow into who he is today.
In this episode, we discuss:
• What lean construction means to him — and how companies can benefit by implementing lean into their organization
• His experience transitioning from residential construction to ultimately working on international mega projects
• His perspective on building a thriving culture by aligning the “mind, body and spirit” of the organization
• His personal experience going from a construction employee, to a consultant, and back to an employee leading his team to success
And much more…
If you're looking for new ways to implement the Lean mentality into your construction organization, you want to build a thriving construction culture, or you simply want to hear the perspective of a seasoned construction leader who genuinely cares about pushing the industry forward -- you're in for a treat with this episode!
