How To Harness Jobsite Intelligence w/ Isaac Barlow

In this episode, Benji sits down with Isaac Barlow, founder of BusyBusy, one of the first time-tracking tools purpose-built for the trades. Isaac is a visionary entrepreneur and technologist who transformed the way contractors capture and use jobsite data.  

Isaac shares his deep insights on the power of “jobsite intelligence,” the critical field data that helps contractors make smarter, more profitable decisions.  

This conversation explores:

• Why time tracking is the most crucial, yet elusive, data point in the trades and how to fix that.
• The cultural shift required to become a data-first company, starting with leadership priorities and field-first technology.
• The dangers of bad data and data black holes on job sites.
• Why high performers crave transparency, and how accurate data helps you attract and retain A-players in a competitive labor market.
• The “coach not player” mindset for crew leaders and how lining out work daily reduces waste and confusion on the job site.

Whether you’re scaling a landscape company or leading a crew, this episode will challenge you to think differently about data, leadership, and field productivity.
