Summary

In this bonus episode of Activating Curiosity, Ryan Ware discusses that change doesn’t happen overnight, it starts with a shift in mindset and the courage to do things differently. Ryan explores how two organizations, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) sparked real change in the construction industry.
