The global energy system just broke — and construction leaders need to understand what that means for their projects, supply chains, and long-term resilience.

In this bonus episode of Activating Curiosity™, Ryan Ware sits down with Tom Raftery — international keynote speaker, sustainability strategist, and host of the Resilient Supply Chain and Climate Confident podcasts — to unpack what today's construction industry trends reveal about energy risk, infrastructure design, and the leadership decisions that matter most.

What you'll learn:
Why the Strait of Hormuz shutdown affects far more than oil — including fertilizers, helium, and global semiconductor supply
How solar + battery storage is now cheaper than new gas plants in 91% of global markets — and what that means for project design
Why renewables deploy in 12–24 months vs. 6 years for gas — a critical advantage for construction timelines
How "total cost of ownership" should reshape how construction leaders advise project owners on energy infrastructure
The case for designing for resilience now — before the next disruption forces the conversation

The shift:
Construction leaders who understand the economics of clean energy — not just the politics — will be positioned to advise clients, win projects, and future-proof their firms. The leaders who wait will be caught off guard again.
