    In Episode 19 of Above and Below, hosts Sonya Bohmann and Zulq Malik sit down with Vikram Kapur for a thoughtful conversation on mindfulness and safety in the construction industry.

    Together, they explore how small mindset shifts can lead to big impacts, and why building a culture of safety starts with being intentional — moment by moment.
