The Drywall Podcast

Daniel Osborne - Setting the Standard

Daniel Osborne of DRR Drywall doesn't compromise price.  He knows his worth and has worked hard to establish a reputation for quality.  He shows up on time, in uniform, and doesn't cuss.  Daniel has a high expectation of his clients and of his employees.  Daniel sets the bar high so others have something to strive for.  We get into much of what he's up to and explore his world in episode #7 of The Drywall Podcast. 

Jon Zuelke - Plaster Master Episode#6

Jon Zuelke was an inspiration to talk with.  He's the owner and operator of JZ Interior Finishing out of Manitowoc WI.  He knows his trade well and has dabbled in many different types of plaster.  We dive into his various application techniques in the 6th Drywall Podcast.  Jon was a pleasure to talk with and I hope to one day get a chance to see his showroom in person and play with some product.  You can follow Jon on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TicToc. Or visit his webpage at jzfinishing.com   

Joe Koenig - The fastest man in Drywall

We're super excited to drop this interview with Joe Koenig - Owner of Trim-Tex and long time supporter of Fresco Harmony.  This interview starts off a little rocky but segues into something special.  Joe reveals his personal side and offers some amazing business advice for a challenging industry.  We discuss the AWCI, racing, ethics, and all things drywall.  Trim-Tex has been a longtime supporter of Fresco Harmony and we appreciate them for that.  Hopefully this interview illustrates that appreciation.    

Cory Fisher Drywall Revolution

Awesome interview with Cory Fisher inventor of the Dry-x 3 Drywall knife made for those hard to reach places.  We discuss marketing a new product, the drywall industry and using a flame thrower in his next commercial.  Cory is a tried and true drywall finisher with a knack for inventing.  He's had some luck but his tenacity has helped with the sales of this new revolutionary product. 

The official Drywall Artist Interview

This interview with Joshua Gray covers how he discovered drywall, fishing in Alaska, and how he maintains balance in a sometimes stressful industry.  We discuss different pricing strategy for different jobs, his social media presence, and working with Mud Man Dan.  Josh is a fantastic interviewee and it was a distinct pleasure talking to him.  

Simply Kristi Slade Podcast

We talk with Kristi Slade about working in the union, cooking and why she likes drywall so much.  Kristi is high energy and extremely fun to interview.  She's been in the trade a long time and is very knowledgeable about all aspects of drywall.  

Papps Duggins Interview The Drywall Alien

We caught up with Papps Duggins to ask him questions about working drywall on the east coast, his social media tactics, and how he came to be a "Drywall Alien."  We discuss why he uses Columbia tools and how he came to be a Columbia tool ambassador.  Papps is a great guy and I couldn't have asked for a better first guest.  Follow Papps on social media by looking for Mud Madness.  Papps's business is Slick Finish Drywall based out of Binghamton, NY.  You can call him for all your drywall needs.  

The Drywall Podcast teaser Introduction

Welcome to The Drywall Podcast. The idea for the Drywall Podcast was inspired by the drywall groups on social media.  Random subjects, picking unique topics, discussing application techniques, unique drywall characters, and some serious comedy. We have a list of over 50 drywall professionals on deck for discussion. This podcast is designed to comb the industry to get to the bottom of what makes Drywallers tick and why they’ve chosen to devote their lives to this unique industry.
