471 :: Stop Thinking Too Small: Management Lessons for Building People, Careers & Communities

In this episode of the Construction Leadership Podcast, host Bradley Hartmann asks a powerful question: Are you thinking too small? He's joined by Christy Avalos, founder of Accessology and visionary behind Bethel Cannon Ranch in Whitewright, Texas—a one-of-a-kind, 83-acre social enterprise blending accessibility, healing, and community impact. From Highland cows and reindeer rentals to vocational training and paid transitional jobs for veterans, formerly incarcerated individuals, and those recovering from addiction, Christy's vision is as bold as it is inspiring.   Together, they explore how business, compassion, and big thinking can intersect to create lasting change. If you've ever questioned the limits of your ambition—or how to turn purpose into action—this episode is for you.   Tune in for a lively, heartwarming, and thought-provoking conversation that just might expand your own vision.   At Bradley Hartmann & Company, we help construction teams improve sales, leadership,  and communication by reducing miscommunication, strengthening teamwork, and bridging language gaps between English and Spanish speakers.
