Episode Description

Welcome back Team! It's great to be with you again!

In this episode, I revisit (somewhat...) some concepts from Episode 20 - Preparing for the Operation. but with several new twists & angles.

Question: How prepared are you for the workday. In this episode:

--I dissect my performance on a recent EMA callout

--I discuss what it means to be Fit for Duty: What condition are we in? How is our performance impacted by:

  • Rest & sleep
  • Nutrition
  • Exercise, fitness & health
  • Hydration


--And I refresh some of the areas of focus we discussion in Episode 20:

  • Preparations before you roll-out to the site
  • Having your kit, your truck and your project documentation squared away before heading out
  • Have communication plans in-place, practiced, references ready, etc.


I close out with a couple of ideas looking forward to our little construction engineering community

  • A Discord server geared towards construction-types who are into the job
  • A Construction Engineering conference this winter in Chicagoland
