The DYOJO Podcast for Contractors

• ​​Watch The DYOJO Podcast on YouTube
• Listen to The DYOJO Podcast on Spotify or Apple.
• ​New episodes are released on Thursdays at 12:01am PST​

INFOtainment is our modus operandi ​

The DYOJO Podcast will INFORM and ENTERTAIN you. In the eloquent words of one listener, the content is, "Annoying but helpful."
​

• IF you want button-downed presentations
• IF you seek conformity 
• IF you enjoy the status quo 
• IF you desire to be spoon-fed information 

THIS IS NOT THE PODCAST FOR YOU

Our platform has evolved from the traditional one-on-one interview style to a heavily edited amalgamation of construction industry themed content.  

​I have been a listener for a over a year now. I enjoy the fun aspect The DYOJO puts on educational content. I find that it helps to break the monotony of regular instruction and educational training.  We recently had an episode where documentation was not followed to company policy by a commercial Project Manager and it ended up biting us in the butt. I used the coverage of the case of RJC vs AISD in order to drive my point home with the rest of my PMs. I find too that with traditional audio and video the attention is not held throughout so I sprinkled in some of your clips on the topic and I had the room! Just wanted to say thanks! - Doug W
