From getting kicked in the face during an Ironman swim to automating AP workflows for some of the largest construction companies in the U.S., Grady O’Neill isn’t afraid of a challenge.

In this episode of Just Some BS, we dive into how Grady’s company, Briq (BRIQ), is transforming the construction world with AI—not by replacing people, but by removing the repetitive, boring work no one wants to do.

Grady brings clarity to how construction can harness automation, what it actually looks like to plug AI into legacy systems, and how he’s training his brain for rejection through endurance sports and sales alike.

🎯 We dig into:

• What training for an Ironman has to do with staying motivated in tech sales
• Why rejection hits differently when you're selling AI (and how to push through it)
• The real reason construction is still slow to change—and how Brick is solving it
• Why “if you can teach it, you can automate it” is the new standard
• How custom large language models are replacing Excel macros and stitching siloed data together
• What rucking, running, and real mental grit have to do with scaling a high-growth company
• Why scraping public bid data might be the future of BD in construction

This episode is for builders, operators, and tech minds who know change is coming—and want to get ahead of it before it steamrolls them.

What do you get when you mix a failed skate shop, a pile of broken boards, and a ton of grit?

You get Rich Moorhead—keynote speaker, artist, and founder of Art of Board. In this episode of Just Some BS, Rich takes us from the basement to the boardroom, sharing how a wild idea to reuse broken skateboards turned into custom tile installations for brands like Google, Monster Energy, and the U.S. Army War College.

🎯 What we unpack:

• The gut-wrenching moment when strangers mocked his first booth… and how he bounced back to sell out
• The real moment of clarity (his wife saying “I like it”)
• Building a sustainable nationwide recycling program through skate culture
• Why he hid his creative business from his employer for years
• The moment Tony Hawk called his phone—and how Rich almost missed it
• The magic of mentorship, mosaic tile, and trusting your own voice
• Why success has nothing to do with money—and everything to do with values

Rich’s story isn’t just inspiring—it’s a roadmap for anyone who feels stuck between practicality and passion.

What if doing less made you a better leader?

In this episode of Just Some BS, Whitney Hahn (Founder of Provoke Better) joins Brandon to challenge everything you’ve been told about hustle, delegation, and what it really means to lead a growing company. From growing up inside a literal zoo (yes, with cobras and arctic foxes) to helping scale companies from 10 to 50+ employees, Whitney brings bold, BS-free insights that every founder, CEO, and operator needs to hear.

🧨 We unpack:

• Why “doing too much means leading too little”
• How founders become their company’s bottleneck
• What “useful ignorance” actually looks like in executive leadership
• Why radical candor and clear dashboards are non-negotiables
• How to delegate with confidence and results
• The “Got No Time for BS” toolkit for reclaiming your week
• Why vacation isn't a luxury—it's a leadership strategy

This one’s packed with humor, practical tools, real talk on burnout, and a new way to lead without losing yourself.
