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
