Escape rooms, government shutdowns, and OpenAI in hard hats.

In this week’s Bricks, Bucks & Bytes episode:

🏢 Dustin DeVan reveals how company offsites can compress 3 months of learning into 3 days and why he stopped drinking to build better.

🗳️ The crew breaks down the US government shutdown, the political “divorce” analogy that says it all, and why Europe’s quietly sliding right.

🤖 Turner Construction signs a massive enterprise deal with OpenAI, giving every employee access to GPT, the biggest AI rollout the industry’s ever seen.

💥 OpenSpace acquires Disperse, and we bring on both CEOs, Jeevan and Olli, to unpack why “spatial AI” might be construction’s next great leap.


But that’s not all:

  • Dustin’s offsite “escape room” turned into a lesson on startup culture.

  • Patric argues OpenAI’s deal with Turner changes nothing until construction fixes its data plumbing.

  • Martin drops the real talk: “Until AI standardizes your processes, it’s just marketing.

  • Jeevan and Olli explain why merging vision and velocity beats partnerships every time.

  • How OpenAI’s CFO plans to demand revenue shares from AI-built products

  • Why legal AI will only win when it kills law firms’ $2M-per-lawyer margins
