About this episode

Christina Brandt discusses leadership challenges and strategies in the construction industry.

Today’s episode is titled Outwork. Outlearn. Outlead., and it’s a conversation I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. I’m joined by Christina Brandt, President of A1 Concrete Cutting in Las Vegas, Nevada—and someone I’m proud to call both a close friend and a fellow CEO. Christina and I have been in the same CEO leadership group for nearly a decade, and I’ve had a front row seat to the way she leads, learns, and shows up with integrity. In this conversation, we dig into what it really takes to lead when the stakes are high—carrying a founder’s legacy, running a growing business in a male dominated construction industry, and balancing leadership with life as a spouse and parent. Christina shares the pressure and motivation of being a second generation leader, how she earned credibility early on, and the mindset shifts that helped her become decisive without losing compassion. We also talk candidly about hard leadership moments—like letting people go the right way—along with the routines, faith practices, and boundaries that help her avoid burnout and stay grounded over the long haul. This episode is practical, honest, and full of lessons every leader can apply.
