Paul Robinson returns to the iReach Podcast for a powerful solo episode that reframes how we think about construction, purpose, and impact. As the founder of ConstructReach, Paul has built a national platform connecting construction, culture, and community—redefining what the industry can mean for the next generation.
In this episode, Paul challenges the narrow perception of construction as “just a job” and positions it as a lifestyle that touches every part of our lives—from where we live and learn to how we heal, worship, and play. He breaks down why storytelling, representation, and cultural relevance are essential to solving the labor shortage and inspiring young people to see themselves in the industry.
This is a mindset shift for business leaders, educators, and employers: if you want to attract, develop, and retain talent, you must connect construction to the whole person. Paul shares why urgency matters now—and how community engagement is no longer optional.
