"Lessons from the Zen Builder" featuring Ed Earl
Be entertained, informed and enlightened as you listen to the Zen Builder share stories from his 25 years of construction experiences and share lessons he’s learned from the diverse and unique projects he has built during his career. Ed Earl has earned his nickname ‘Zen Builder’ through his role as construction project manager for a straw-bale nunnery at a Buddhist monastery in Southern California, as well as his ability to transfer the wisdom he has gained from his 20 years of study under a Zen Master and apply these mindfulness concepts to his construction project management practice. Ed will share captivating stories and interesting photos from several of his fascinating projects including a $25 million estate home that took 5 years to construct, a Buddhist monastery built of straw-bale clay plaster walls and a safari camp rebuild in Botswana, Africa. Ed will share advice on how to deal with your difficult clients and practical tips that you can utilize on your projects to help them run more smoothly. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from the Zen Builder!
