ENR’s Critical Path Podcast delivers insights from leading industry experts and decision-makers about the latest construction industry innovations, issues and developments.
After planning most of her life to be a college basketball coach, Jeannie Cullen-Schultz decided that while she loved the game, she did not want to make it her career. After discussions with her father, Mark, and several women in construction, she finished her educational leadership thesis while working on her second master’s degree in construction management and returned to her family’s business, JP Cullen in Janesville, Wis., as a fifth-generation owner and created the general contractor’s health care division. She was committed to making a difference for other women in construction. She and her brother, George, have since become co-presidents of JP Cullen and lead the company with advice and input from their father, other-fourth generation owners and their fifth generation cousins.
Oracle Industry Lab Vice President of Innovation Burcin Kaplanoglu returns to the Critical Path to talk with Jeff Yoders about artificial intelligence and how it will change construction processes in 2025 and beyond. Robotics, drone technology and other construction tech make it into their conversation as well.
In the Critical Path podcast’s first-ever visual episode, two UAV experts with Rawlins Infra Consult update ENR on the latest and greatest in drone-driven bridge inspections.
