The Drywall Podcast

Brad Hanna - Part 2

We welcome Brad Hanna back onto The Drywall Podcast after two years but it didn't occur to me that his first interview was only 19 minutes.  After a reconnection at the CSR Black Friday Event in Vaughn ON we decided we better reconnect and get more of the story.  We talk a lot about the early days of influencers on social media and where social media has gone today.  We discuss the tools and we also talk some about religion.  Brad is a real talker and so am I so this episode worked out just fine for the both of us and I hope it works out well for you too on this, the 118th episode of The Drywall Podcast.

Monica Schafer and Jud Togerson - Paonia Property Services

What an absolute pleasure it was having Monica and Jud on the show.  It's nice to get a perspective of Fresco Harmony from a couple of pros why aren't exactly in the drywall industry.  That's right...  Monica and Judy are the first professional painters to grace The Drywall Podcast and I couldn't be more lucky.  Not only are they extremely professional at what they do, they aren't scared to try something new.  We talk about their first experience with Fresco Harmony, the housing industry in Paonia and how Monica found herself loving life in a small Colorado community.  There's lots of laughs and lots of great information on this, the 117th, episode of The Drywall Podcast.

Stephen Genkens - Big Dawg Drywall Part 2

It's always a pleasure to talking with Big Dawg but getting to sit down with him a second time was special.  Recently Big Dawg went through some life difficulties when he was injured on the job and had to move his fiancé and child.  We talk about the challenges of running a business and how these circumstances led him to turn to a higher power for strength to move forward.  Stephen is amazing in the face of difficulty and has shown that he has what it takes to be a leader in drywall and in life.  Big Dawg brings it real in this episode of The Drywall Podcast.

James Weihoenig - Morph Sanding Solutions

I'm so glad James reached out to me.  He's one of those people who you just connect with right away.  He's extremely intelligent, well spoken, and has a dynamic skill set that has enabled him to take an idea and develop a product in his garage that just might revolutionize the way sanding is done in the drywall industry.  He's very funny and we get into the weeds on the industry, marketing, and how it came to be that he is now a product developer.  I'm pretty sure you're going to like this episode, the 115th episode, of The Drywall Podcast.

Cid Mauricio - Drywall Finisher For You

Mauricio was referred to me by the kind folks at Solid Drywall.  He began doing drywall after he moved up to Toronto and his uncle Sol showed him the ropes.  Shortly after starting his own company he started on social media showing his work because he looked so young that people questioned his ability to achieve jobs.  That little social media experience catapulted his following to over 242K on Instagram and 139K followers on Facebook.  He's a fantastic guy to talk to and listening to on this, the 114th episode of The Drywall Podcast.

ItsYaManKam - Tribute

On this episode we pay tribute to a drywall legend.  Kameron Brown known as itsyamankam passed away on Tuesday October 1st after working on a drywall project in Effingham IL.  Kam was a pivotal figure in the drywall space and friends with anyone who had the pleasure of coming into contact with him.  I was lucky enough to be with him on his last day and I feel it's important to tell my story from this perspective.  This is the very first solo podcast by Nick Harmon explaining the profound relationship between Kam and myself, what happened on Oct 1st and what we can do as a drywall community to ensure his legacy lives on.  I miss my friend but his stories and impact is still very much alive in our hearts.  We remember that legacy on this, the 113th episode of The Drywall Podcast.
RIP Kam we love you!!!

Jason Marshall - Jam's Drywall Part 2

Once again we meet up with Jason Marshall after a long hiatus to discuss a little trouble he had with a contractor.  Jason recently finished a project and the contractor decided not to pay him and he had to lean the property.  We talk about the importance of having a sound contract and how creating a procedure document for his clients has helped Jam's Drywall become more successful.  Jason is a great guy and I always enjoy talking with him but this one is fantastic.  I hope you get as much good information out of this episode, Episode 112, as I did.

Steph Abbott - Teek Interiors Part 2

I finally got a chance to catch up with Steph of Teek Interiors.  If you don't know who Steph Abbott is just head over to her Instagram page @teekinteriors and give her a like.  She's acquired over 50K followers but it wasn't by accident.  Steph has had a unique approach to tackling Instagram and it's paid off for her.  We talk about some strategic approaches to getting more followers and how some little tweaks can really bolster your engagement.  We also discuss her last year of recovery from drugs and alcohol and how that freedom has lead her to some pretty extraordinary opportunities in the drywall community.  We talk about her experience at the Great Rocky Mountain Adventure and getting to rep Richards with PRC and Gilbert taping.  Oh, and we talk a lot about drywall finishing technique.  Episode 111 is awesome and so is Steph and I hope you think so too.

Chris Chiatovich - CLC Interiors

Chris and I go back 10 years to the Drywall Talk days.  Chris happened upon Fresco Harmony and decided to try it out.  Shortly after we met up in Vegas at Intex and had a great time.  He doesn't do the most Fresco Harmony but he's always been a huge supporter and a fantastic finisher.  We catch up in this episode to discuss how he got into the trade, why he still chooses metal corner bead over vinyl, and how his business has diversified into acoustical ceilings and metal framing.  Chris is a great guy and tells a great story on this, the 110th episode of The Drywall Podcast.
