Just Some BS
Just Some BS is where industrial leaders talk about what actually breaks when companies scale.
Hosted by Brandon Stanchock, CEO of an industrial construction company, this show challenges the myths industrial businesses tell themselves about control, accountability, and growth.
Because most industrial companies don’t struggle from lack of talent, they struggle with a lack of clarity.
And when clarity is missing, leaders tighten control instead of fixing the real issue.
This is not a generic leadership podcast.
It’s for operators responsible for execution — the ones dealing with scope definition, contract expectations, field-office tension, margin pressure, and modernization decisions that carry real risk.
Expect:
• Solo breakdowns of operational friction
• Honest discussions about leadership under pressure
• Execution failures that teach more than wins
• Accountability without control theater
• Conversations with industrial operators and subject-matter experts
If you lead in construction, fabrication, industrial services, or execution-heavy environments — this show is built for you.
No fluff. No buzzwords. Just real operational leadership.

How to Find Your Authentic Self (Without the Self-Help Fluff) – ft. Katie Sandoe
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this special dueling podcast episode, Brandon teams up with Katie Sandoe, speaker, coach, professor, and self-proclaimed sparkologist, for a raw, real, and refreshingly honest conversation on authenticity, purpose, and leadership.
Together, they unpack:
- What it actually means to find your authentic self
- The butterfly effect moments that shape who we become
- Why purpose is an unfolding, not a destination
- How to align your energy instead of chasing balance
- Leadership lessons nobody tells you (like when to ask your team what you suck at)
- Why personal branding is less about selling and more about being human
- How staying weird can change how people connect with you
- The magic of humor, long-distance running, and accidentally roasting someone who got hit by a bus 😬
This episode isn’t a step-by-step guide—it’s a conversation between two people figuring it out, asking hard questions, and laughing a lot along the way.
