Addam is super humble.  We start out talking about his relationship to Kevin but also about his beginnings pushing the broom at the formidable age of just 15.  We discuss his father's involvement with Better Than Ever Tools and how his family's work ethic let them to begin AAA Drywall out of Minneapolis MN.  Addam now is a supervisor for MCI Paint and Drywall and runs crews of up to 40 men.  He handles large commercial projects and is a quintessential expert in his field.  I know you're going to enjoy this, the 72nd episode, of The Drywall Podcast.

Dusty and I travel through time and across Canada to find out a little about tape application, experiencing a crash course in drywall finishing, and why he was attracted to CanAm tools from the start.  It's always interesting learning about what makes the Drywaller tick but I feel like we could have talked for hours.  Dusty is well spoken and brings years of experience to this, the 70th episode of The Drywall Podcast.

Steph Abbott - Teek Interiors

Steph is a true trades person and this fact shines through in her interview.  Steph hasn't always had it easy and we talk about the early days of working for A-Tech Drywall while also branching out on her own all while taking care of a child on her own.  Today she has three kids and runs her own business with some help from her partner and a lot of hard work.  Her social media chops are on point and she continues to crush it in a male dominated trade.  We talk about CanAm tools, Columbia, and some of her hand finishing techniques but also why she's open to new ways to finish drywall.  This episode, the 68th episode, will be an instant favorite.  I'd love to hear your feedback.  Feel free to email me directly at info@frescoharmony.com or give me a call 505-400-9313.

Greg Strebe - Finishing Touch Drywall

What an interview.  Greg called me out of the blue and inquired about being on the podcast but also was curious about this Fresco Harmony stuff I was selling.  He told me he had a great story for the podcast.  I was like "sure, what's up?" He told me he had a high profile job with Amazon of all companies and said he had to leave and return back to drywall because the high profile life was just too much of a soul suck.  Greg is a great conversationalist and I know you're going to love this episode, the 67th episode of The Drywall Podcast.

Kevin Bush - Part 3

On this third installment of Adventures in Drywall we tackle articles from the early 2000's.  We talk about his faithful dog Rowdy, his deep dive into mold and a bit about his good friend Joe Klaumenzer and a ton of other stuff.  Adventures In Drywall is an article Kevin used to write for Walls & Ceilings Magazine spanning over 10 years and two hundred articles.  We pluck out some gems and discuss the nature of these discussions.  Kevin was a sales rep for Grabber for years and has a vast knowledge about the industry and instruments we use every day.  Not only that, he's a good guy and my friend.  I hope you enjoy listening to him as much as I did on this, the 64th episode of The Drywall Podcast
