Construction Matters: Building Wellbeing, One Story at a Time
Welcome to Construction Matters, a podcast that refuses to treat mental health as a polite afterthought. In an industry that lionizes toughness and stoicism, we ask the questions others sidestep: What does it cost to keep silent? And why should resilience mean suffering in solitude?
Here, no subject is quarantined for fear of discomfort. Each episode brings you unvarnished accounts from the men and women who raise our skylines and pave our roads—the real architects of Australia’s future. These are stories not of abstract “wellbeing initiatives,” but of lived experience: the triumphs, the breakdowns, and the stubborn dignity of those who endure both.
Our host is no parachuted pundit. He began with a shovel in hand and climbed to senior management without losing sight of the mud from which he rose. His perspective is earned, not borrowed.
This is not a sermon, nor a therapy session. It is a candid exploration of an industry’s soul—its present, its future, and the human cost of its progress. We aim to build a community where candour is strength, and solidarity is more than a slogan.
So, join us. Listen, argue, reflect. And remember: you are not alone in this struggle. Together, we can construct something rarer than steel or concrete—a culture of care, one story at a time.
