He explains why contractors and consultants must stop signing agreements that hand over intellectual property, tie them to unseen prime contract risks, and force them into payment or liability terms they can\u2019t reasonably control. The core message is simple, if bad contract language stays in the industry, it\u2019s because too many people keep accepting it instead of pushing back. What you'll learn in this episode:  Why unfair contract clauses keep spreading in construction. How bad contract language shifts risk onto people who can\u2019t control it. Why \u201cit\u2019s not a big deal\u201d is never a good excuse for signing a bad contract. How lazy legal and contracting practices damage trust and relationships. Why pushing back on bad terms is the only way the industry improves.  If everyone keeps signing contracts they know are wrong, how will the industry ever stop treating people unfairly?
