What if the key to stronger leadership wasn’t solving every problem—but knowing which ones to let burn? In this episode of Bridging the Gap, host Todd Weyandt explores the path from overwhelm to order with actionable leadership strategies tailored for the construction industry. Learn why joy requires intentional perspective, how to delegate effectively by “letting the fires burn,” and why clarity and structure are the ultimate antidotes to chaos. Discover the principles behind building a succession-worthy business that can grow without you, the role of scheduling in defending against disorder, and how to engage the next generation of leaders. This conversation unpacks the truth that vision without action is just hallucination—and shows how to turn that vision into reality. MEET OUR GUEST Scott Beebe is a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA), founder of Business On Purpose, and author of Let Your Business Burn and The Chaos Free Contractor. Scott hosts the Business On Purpose podcast sharing real stories of how he and the 10-person BOP team are working with business owners and their key leaders to build people, purpose, process, and profit installing the Business On Purpose Roadmap to liberate businesses from chaos and help them get their lives back. TODD TAKES Joy follows perspective—and both require intentionality.Joy doesn’t show up automatically; it’s a choice that comes from seeking out new perspectives and challenging your comfort zone. Leaders who actively look at situations from different angles often find clarity, connection, and purpose—even in the midst of chaos. Real leadership means knowing when to let the fires burn.Delegation is essential for growth, both for the leader and the team. By trusting others with responsibility—even at the risk of mistakes—leaders create opportunities for learning and development, rather than stepping in and solving every problem themselves. Chaos thrives in the absence of clarity and structure.A well-defined schedule and a clearly communicated vision are powerful tools to reduce overwhelm and create stability. Without implementation, vision remains just an idea—true progress comes from consistent, structured action.   CHAPTERS 00:00Introduction to Scott Beebe and His Journey 08:11Building a Succession-Worthy Business 17:59Engaging Gen Z in the Construction Industry 24:47The Importance of Action in Business 31:05The Power of Perspective and Joy 31:46Leadership and Delegation 32:10Clarity, Structure, and Implementation   MORE RESOURCES Thanks for listening!
