The Drywall Podcast - Where the Trade Meets the Craft

Ian Crosby - The Gypsosis Effect

Ian Crosby and I have a lot in common.  Our conversation ranges from drywall to various plastering techniques, to running and music we cover it all.  I absolutely love talking shop with Ian and I hope he comes down to do a training with me in the near future.  I hope you enjoy the 13th episode of The Drywall Podcast as much as I did.  

Robert McLaughlin - Do The Work

Seam Filler - Paper pusher - Independent Democrat - Republican - and Full time pain in the Arse!  
Robert and I dive into the world of running a business,  that time he went AWOL in Hawaii, and a little bit on training the new guy.  We get into some wacky topics while also tackling some serious issues like schizophrenia and relationships.  Robert is one of the funniest that's been on The Drywall Podcast this, our 12th episode.  You're going to love it!  

Chad Hesser - Drywall God

We catch up with Chad Hesser of Hesser Drywall from Newton IL.  We talk selling Fresco Harmony, What he's learned from his plaster training, and working with Trim-Tex products.  Chad is a seasoned veteran of Drywall and has a lot of knowledge to bring to the table.  We're excited to welcome him into the fold on this 11th podcast only on The Drywall Podcast. 
 

Justin McPadden - What you could be

Justin McPadden of Final Touch Drywall and I sit down to discuss his recovery from drugs and alcohol and how becoming a licensed drywall contractor in the state of Florida inspired him to be better. We also cover his involvement with different podcast platforms, drywall, plaster, and how to make it as a fledgeling business owner.  Justin is a great addition to the already amazing line up of Drywallers on this 10th episode of The Drywall Podcast. 

Joseph Daniel Loden

Joe Loden is a drywall professional out of San Diego CA who specializes in high end remodel work and custom residential homes.  He's very professional and very passionate about the work his company produces.  Joe believes that being on the cutting edge of industry products keeps him and his clients in the know.  Joe has the ability to have the difficult conversations with builders, designers, and architects other company owners can't.  We discuss his meager beginnings of working as a brick layer in Australia before venturing into the trades and learning from some of the best.  This is a good one you don't want to miss. 

Episode #8 Flat Butts Podcast

Bill Gagne created The Flat Butts Podcast for Drywallers to have a space to listen to the stories we tell.  Bill and I are the same age, we have children that are the same age, we have younger wives, and we both appreciate snarky humor.  I had a great time laughing and joking with Bill about a whole range of topics.  From movies to interviewing Drywallers we cover it all in this episode the 8th episode of The Drywall Podcast.  Enjoy!

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.

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.
