Kristopher Goins discuss the following:
* Foreman’s mission is “protecting workers first, then automating the rest.” What does that look like on a real jobsite, and how can other companies adopt a similar safety-first mindset when rolling out technology?
* You’ve nearly doubled gross margins since taking over as CEO. What lessons can other leaders take from your approach to balancing innovation, operations, and profitability?
* Many contractors are skeptical of robotics and AI. What strategies have you found effective for building trust with traditional, relationship-driven industries, and what advice would you give to others selling disruptive tech to blue-collar sectors?
* Adam and Charlie are designed not to replace workers, but to empower them. What are some practical ways leaders can introduce new technology without alienating skilled labor?
* You’ve led teams across law enforcement, cybersecurity, and now industrial robotics. What leadership habits from those diverse experiences can help business owners build resilience and adaptability in today’s volatile environment?
Summary:
At the end of the day, technology only matters if it keeps people safe and makes their work more valuable. Whether you’re in construction, tech, or services, lead with protection, not disruption, and you’ll build trust that lasts.
