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.

Planet-First Beats: Mar Ibrahim on Turning Concerts into Climate Wins
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.

Today Mar helps artists from Green Day to Bon Jovi cut carbon without killing profit—or the vibe.
In this episode you’ll learn:

- The Robin Hood Benefit case study: composting 3,000 guests’ leftovers to generate energy for 5,000 buildings mar-brandon
- Three low-cost wins any venue can copy—waste-sorting bins, local vendors, battery packs instead of diesel mar-brandon
- How a $60 carpet-recycling move slashed emissions and saved money mar-brandon
- Using AI drag-and-drop dashboards to turn vendor data into instant carbon reports mar-brandon
