Mark Breslin and Jake Thompson on why the field leaders who win are the ones competing with themselves, raising their own standard every day, on the jobsite and at home.
Every leader starts strong. Then the grind sets in and the little things slide: a skipped huddle, a corner cut, a “that’s good enough.” It happens on the job, at home and in the standard you hold for yourself. Nobody lowers the bar. It drifts.
Mark Breslin and Jake Thompson show field leaders how to catch the drift in themselves first, compete against their own yesterday and set the pace their crew and family follow.



Jake Thompson is a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP®) who has delivered more than 500 keynotes and spoken to construction leaders across the country, including leadership events for the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC). His work zeroes in on “drift,” the slow erosion of standards that sets in after a team starts winning. On a jobsite, drift costs you in safety, quality and schedule.
Jake gives foremen, superintendents and project leaders practical tools for holding the line when no one’s watching. That means accountability, consistency and a crew that competes against its own yesterday. He is the author of Compete Every Day, Lead Better Now, The Line and Beat Yesterday, and hosts the Compete Every Day podcast. His frameworks have reached tens of thousands of leaders, construction professionals among them. competeeveryday.com
