Hi, I'm your host Richard W Johnson. Welcome to The Black Contractors Network podcast! You're probably wondering what this podcast is all about. Well, I'm here to tell you that it's more than just a podcast: it's a community. People like you and me who have been in the business of building things, are having a rough go at life, we are all connected by our shared experiences. And together, we can make a difference in our communities by helping each other out and supporting each other. I have been in construction since 1999 and have since then gained a lot of experience and knowledge that I wish to share. On this podcast you'll find a lot of tips and advice related to the center of many important conversations happening in the construction industry, everything from big construction projects to small personal problems that have gotten in the way of your ability to work on them. On each episode, we talk about a different topic related to running a successful business.; we'll talk about how people can work together to find solutions for problems like racial discrimination within the industry; and we'll talk about ways that we can all help each other grow as individuals and professionals. And no matter what comes up, you're not alone. I hope this podcast helps empower you as an individual and as part of the community. Our goal is simple: we want to help people like you take control of their lives and build something amazing with their businesses. So, let's get started!

Why The United States Can't Handle Crises 8:25

3 years ago8:25

8:25

No matter how much you prepare, there's no way to truly be prepared for life. I learned that lesson last week. And I think the United States government is learning it as well. Crises create chaos and confusion, unsettling our foundation, and taking away from the energy we could use to address daily problems and improve our living situation. And America has faced a good number of crises and will continue to. The problem is that we're not responding well to these situations. From Sandy Hook to the Boston Marathon bombing, from Syria to Iraq -- we act like a deer in headlights. We just don't know what to do. Our response mechanism seems broken because it is broken -- an unculture of political polarization has turned us into two warring camps incapable of seeing eye-to-eye.…

This week I want to talk about building a successful business in the current climate. It's insane the amount of times I get sent emails and messages on Facebook asking me questions like should I quit my job or not? Should I pay off my mortgage early?

The truth is, nobody has every had it ALL done by the time they were 30 and as you can see in this video, it's never too late to change your life.…

Robot Apocalypse Will Happen In Our Lifetime? 12:09

Artificial intelligence is going to take everyone's jobs. AI is going to be the death of humanity. We all know these statements, but we also don't really believe them. There are as many people in favor of AI taking over as there are people against it, and both groups are really loud. So how should entrepreneurs make decisions about artificial intelligence? Should you even care? We are often told by the futurist that we should be worried about coming changes in society due to artificial intelligence, automation and robots. But on what basis are they creating this fear? Are we worry because someone said it? Or should we worry because of facts and data? This episode discusses those things.…

Is There Such A Thing As Cheap Labor? 4:40

3 years ago4:40

4:40

There is no such thing as cheap labor.. Cheap labor is only cheap if you're not paying your employees what they deserve. It's an illusion, and one that can only be sustained when you're getting away with paying less than a living wage. If you're doing that, then you're not actually providing value to your customers—you're just taking advantage of them. Labor is a commodity, just like any other. It's subject to the same laws of supply and demand that govern all other commodities.…

Why Working Hard Alone Forever Doesn't Make Any Sense The Older You Get. 7:15

It's funny how things can change you. For the longest time I had this idea in my head that hard work, and working hard ALONE is the only way to find success in life. I thought that once I grew older it would be a self fulfilling prophecy, and all I would have to do is continue hustling; eventually everything would fall into place. That was the plan, anyway. But life has a funny way of throwing curve balls when you least expect them.…

I Apologize, America~!~ 7:08

I look at the political landscape and issues that face our country. Today, I want to issue a sincere apology to America for the existence of politicians Clarence Thomas and Tim Scott . Both men are unapologetically conservative and do not represent the values of this great nation. I can only hope that in the future, we choose leaders that truly represent the ideals of American liberty and magnanimity; this will never happen as long as Justice Thomas is still on the Supreme Court.…
