Introducing Procore’s New Podcast: The Power of Construction

What does the future of construction hold? What’s driving the persistent labor shortage? Are leadership strategies keeping up with the evolving demands of the workforce? And which technologies will transform construction as we know it? 

“The Power of Construction” is a new podcast by Procore – in partnership with Construction Dive – that delves into the topics shaping the industry today. From emerging technologies to workforce dynamics, industry leaders share their points of view, innovations, and hard-earned lessons. 

In a field where collaboration and innovation are essential, forward-thinking leadership is key. Hosts Sasha Reed, Procore’s Senior Director of Industry Advancement, and Kris Lengieza, Procore’s Global Technology Evangelist, engage in bold, insightful conversations with some of the brightest minds in construction to help shape the industry’s future.

“The construction industry stands at a pivotal moment, where innovation and adaptability are essential for progress,” said Sasha Reed. “As an industry tasked with building the future, we must find ways to achieve operational effectiveness while also becoming better stewards of our people. This podcast tackles these challenges head-on, bringing fresh perspectives from industry leaders who are pushing the boundaries and finding solutions to drive the industry forward.” 

The first season features a lineup of business leaders in operations, finance, safety, and technology innovation. A few of the guests appearing in episodes this season include:

  • Peter Tateishi, CEO of Associated General Contractors of California
  • Josh Bone, Executive Director, ELECTRI International
  • Melissa Renfrow, VP Strategic Development and Marketing, PCI 
  • Eric Whobrey, VP, Innovation and Managing Partner, ARCO Murray
  • Todd Wynne, CIO, Rogers-O'Brien

"We've created a playbook for ourselves that hasn’t changed, while everything else around us has,” said Executive Director of ELECTRI International, Josh Bone, during the first episode of the podcast, which focuses on productivity in construction. “To overcome this productivity gap, we’re going to have to be more intentional and strategic — whether it’s addressing workforce challenges, empowering our teams with better resources, or rethinking our design and contract methods. It’s time to change." 

“The Power of Construction” is more than a conversation — it's a resource that provides actionable insights to help construction leaders stay ahead.
