Elon Musk builds rockets. You build buildings. Different industry. Same problems. Bad requirements, bloated processes, too many parts, slow cycle time.

Eric Jorgenson is the CEO of Scribe Media and the author of The Book of Elon, a curated collection of Elon Musk's most useful ideas drawn from his tweets, interviews, and public conversations. In this episode, we walk through Elon's five-step algorithm and apply it directly to how construction companies get work, plan work, and build work.

What you'll learn:

Why questioning requirements and deleting parts is 80 percent of the algorithm
How the idiot index reveals where your supply chain is taking you for a ride
First principles thinking vs. reasoning by analogy, with concrete construction examples
Why fast is actually cheap and how it breaks the construction trilemma
How to attack the bottleneck instead of running the calendar
How to give people hardcore feedback without making it personal
