We thought it was time to introduce a podcast built for our industry, by our industry. Time to learn about the innovative solutions that are built for our industry. And time to hear about the amazing projects, companies, and people who have made them.
The construction industry is undergoing rapid change and we want to help contractors and entrepreneurs achieve their maximum potential. The Building Builders Podcast features interviews with leaders in the industry, showcasing the projects they work on every day and the innovative solutions they are bringing to the table.
Hosted by industry veteran Kevin Forestell, the podcast will focus on the intersection of construction and technology and the people and stories within. As Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of DOZR, Kevin’s passion for problem-solving in the heavy equipment industry can be traced back to the beginning of his career as CEO of one of the largest landscaping companies in Ontario, Canada. Today, Kevin is at the helm of the world’s first comprehensive online search for heavy equipment.
As the host of the Building Builders Podcast, Kevin uses his experience to ask relevant and topical questions for entrepreneurs and career-driven employees in the construction, landscaping, and heavy equipment industries. Tune in to hear stories of your industry colleagues and learn about how you can enhance your own business and career.
Welcome to #thebuildingbuilderspodcast.

S2E9: The Opioid Epidemic in Construction with Cal Beyer
*Note: Cal was still with Holmes Murphy & Associates when we recorded this episode. He is now working at the SAFE Project.
Cal Beyer is a well-respected advocate for mental health and suicide prevention in the construction industry. On top of that, he has also conducted a ton of research on drug addiction in construction, with a big focus on opioid addiction. He has won several awards and has been recognized countless times for his work.
Cal is the Senior Director of SAFE Workplaces for the national nonprofit SAFE Project (SAFE stands for Stop the Addiction Fatality Epidemic). In this role, Cal is a catalyst, advocate, and a force multiplier to educate, equip, and empower leaders and organizations to address the root causes of addiction and to amplify their voices and actions to promote successful solutions in workplaces.
In this episode, Kevin and Cal break down several topics and issues surrounding the opioid epidemic in construction. These include:
The rise of opioid-related deaths on construction sites (1:00)
Why it's hard to control and address the opioid crisis in construction (7:00)
Taking a person-centered approach to the opioid epidemic (17:00)
Where the problem starts and how we can start to understand the problem (22:00)
What people need to know about using opioids in the long term (30:00)
We understand that this topic may be difficult for many people. Many construction workers know someone who has lost their life to drug addiction or suicide. We are hopeful that this episode provides additional context on how people struggle with addiction and mental health so that you can be a resource and ally in future situations. We have also included additional resources below if needed.
