Episode Details

Running complex environmental projects isn’t just about technical expertise—it’s about leadership, communication, and trust. In this episode of the Business Roundtable Podcast, host David W. Carr talks with David McIntyre, founder of McIntyre Environmental, about what it takes to move from technical work to leading major projects with multiple stakeholders.

David shares lessons from his journey—from the Marine Corps to environmental consulting to running his own firm—including:

• How shifting laws and regulations (like NEPA and the Clean Water Act) affect projects today
• Why proactive planning and communication save time, money, and headaches
• How to balance technical expertise with project management and stakeholder engagement
• The importance of building relationships with subcontractors, agencies, and the public
• Why trust and transparency lead to repeat business and better outcomes

If you’re a leader in environmental consulting, AEC, or professional services, this episode will help you see why successful projects depend on more than technical compliance—they rely on clarity, collaboration, and confident leadership.
