The latest From the Fabricator podcast is now up and ready for you to check out. Real interesting trio this time out with lots of lessons and insights. I kick it off with long-time industry player John Leonard of FHC. John joined me at the last minute, and it was a good run through the railing space, along with a key takeaway of “listen” – which really resonated with me. Then I went “peopling” with Priscilla “PK” Koeckerwitz of Brin Glass.

For me, it was an adventure getting to and getting back (thank you worldwide computer outage,) but all- in-all the California Glass Association (CGA) event was awesome… so impressed with the passion and drive this group has and the potential is so clear and exciting. It was honor to attend and visit with so many great people, many of whom I hadn’t seen in years. In addition, it was amazing to run into former coworkers who continue to crush it day in and day out. Incredible people like Cathy and Mike Hartley, Wardi Bisharat, and Joe Carlos. Loved seeing you and catching up!
