No More Toughing It Out: Rewiring the Construction Industry from Within

In this powerful episode, we sit down with a long-time leader, Dr. John Gaal, in the construction industry who has made it his mission to prioritize mental health as a foundational pillar of safety and success on the jobsite. Through sharing his personal story and professional journey, he challenges the outdated mindset of “toughing it out” and offers a new vision—one where vulnerability, support, and emotional well-being are seen as strengths, not weaknesses.

We explore the real-life impact of mental health on job performance, safety, and team culture, and unpack the strategic steps he’s taken to create meaningful change across the industry. This conversation is a call to action for leaders at every level: the time to rewire our culture from within is now.

Whether you work in construction or simply care about workplace mental health, this episode will leave you inspired and informed.
