Jamie Foxx fuck you

On this deeply reflective and power-packed episode of TNT, Manny teams up once again with co-host Jonathan Cinelli of the People First Podcast to dig into some hard truths about why so many of us in construction—and in life—seek out struggle instead of embracing joy.
We get real about: 🔹 Why we sometimes gravitate toward hardship, even when happiness is within reach 🔹 How we justify focusing on work over family and loved ones 🔹 Learning to be present and grateful, especially in the chaos of the construction life 🔹 The mindset shift that comes when you realize—"it could always be worse" 🔹 Keyboard warriors and digital noise—why their lies and opinions don’t matter when you’re dialed in to your own goals and accomplishments
This episode is a wake-up call to reclaim your focus, redefine what success really looks like, and stop giving energy to things—or people—that have no place in your journey.
🎧 Tune in for a mindset reset, some needed real talk, and a reminder that peace comes when you protect your priorities.

One of the many reasons why the 3 of us started a construction podcast was because of Episode Eleven, Women In Construction.
We had so much to talk about that we had to do it in 2 parts with 2 different women.
In this episode, we have Marta as our guest, a woman in the industry with over 15 years experience.
Working her way from faux finishing to a site super handling over 400 homes a year.
