A new article by Jon Isaacson was published in Construction Business Owner Magazine - The Three P's of Project Management.
EXCERPT: Project management is an essential function of any organization offering services in the skilled trades. Project managers feel they are overutilized and underappreciated by owners, managers, subcontractors and customers. Meanwhile, owners and managers wonder why their teams cannot consistently produce profitable projects with happy customers. Digging further into the three P’s of project management can help all parties improve their processes and outcomes. Please give the full article a read and let us know what you think. If you are a business owner, manager, or aspiring skilled trades professional, check out Jon's third book So, You Want To Be A Project Manager? for more on this topic.

This week on The DYOJO Podcast we share some more property restoration history. If you listen to IAQ Radio on Fridays, you know that Cliff Zlotnik always opens the show with a question. Joe Hughes and the Z Man are the OG's of property restoration podcasting. They were podcasting before that was even an option, broadcasting live in the 2000's over internet radio.
We speak to this restoration founding father's sons and several others about these historic contributions that birthed the water damage mitigation industry. Cliff Zlotnik shared, "His invention of the air mover was probably the most significant invention for our industry. It was a brilliant idea. It was simple. And do you know what's even crazier? His idea to put it underneath the carpet and float the carpet." Our friends at C&R Magazine and KnowHow are joining forces once again to gather input from YOU our industry peers and will be sharing the data in the 2nd Annual State of the Industry Report. This ANONYMOUS survey gathers critical data to establish trends, habits, and benchmarks for the restoration industry.
Survey Opens: Aug. 2, 2023 Survey Closes: September 8, 2023 Results will be revealed in a Webinar on Wednesday, Nov. 1. We will also host two additional webinars doing deep-dives on two key areas of the report (TBD based on the results) on Wednesday, Nov. 8 and Wednesday, Nov. 15. All webinars are at 1 p.m. ET.

Restoring Kindness and many teams throughout Canada and the United States are working together with the goal of raising over 100,000 pairs of new socks in the month of September. Find out more about this charitable event and how you can help from our SOCKTEMBER PAGE. SOCKTember 2023 will be kicking off soon. Join The DYOJO and Restoring Kindess for a Zoom call to discuss how you and your team can be involved with this community event.
Stay tuned via the Restoring Kindness website for more information. Please reach out to Jon Isaacson (The DYOJO) or Sarah Guastaferro (Restoring Kindness) for questions and information. What is SOCKTember? It’s simple really. Most local community services NEED socks. It is one of the highest demand items for people in need of all ages. SOCKTember was started with the idea of picking up an extra pack of new socks whenever team members go to the store. If teams of contractors, customers, and community members did this we could raise a lot of new socks for local agencies.
