Shay Stutsman discusses how a trip to Switzerland transformed his approach to construction and productivity in the industry.
July 2, 2026 Five Days in Switzerland Changed Everything w/ Shay Stutsman – DT 457 Shay Stutsman is the owner of Stutsman Gerbaz Earthmoving, a third-generation excavation and site work company based in Aspen, Colorado, and one of the most forward-thinking contractors in America. He flew to Switzerland to spend five days watching a single company work — and came home and changed everything. He reveals why American contractors have a productivity problem disguised as a labor problem — and why the companies still doing things the way they did them ten years ago are running out of time.
