The Drywall Podcast

Shawn Fawcett - Signature Finish Renovations

Shawn and I dig right in talking about a backsplash he and Shawn Ramsden finished in Fresco Harmony.  We talk about meeting at the CSR training in Toronto and how he got into the trade.  Not your normal route but after doing carpentry for a bit he found he had a knack for drywall and it wasn't long before he was in charge of all the patches.  Shawn is extremely humble and a great guy.  We talk a lot about technique and how he's slow to adopt the tools.  It's a great show and I know you'll come to love Shawn Fawcett on this, the 77th episode of The Drywall Podcast.

Cullen Selinger - Elite Drywall

If you pay attention to your followers it's likely that you'll see likes from Cullen Selinger and Elite Drywall.  He's that kind of guy.  He didn't hesitate to jump on board when I asked him if he'd like to be on The Drywall Podcast.  We dive into the interview like we'd known each other for years.  He's a great guy, a family man and a first generation Drywaller but he wasn't always drawn to drywall.  He original passion was with Coal mining.  He did that for years but when his new home flooded he wanted to tackle the drywall himself.  After some cuss words and some struggle he found an affinity for the medium and found himself doing odd jobs and helping friends out.  Finally he made the switch to owning his own drywall business and he's never looked back.  I know you're going to enjoy this, the 76th episode of The The Drywall Podcast.

Gloria Fuentes - Part 2

Round two with one of the most fearless women I've ever met.  Gloria and I take off where we left off with Episode 73 part one of this two part episode.  She's in NYC and poised to take on the biggest project she's ever encountered.  We talk about that and how she won over the crews when she was safety inspector girl by bringing coffee and donuts to the job on safety inspection day.  She's smart like that but business savvy in so many other wonderful ways.  
We discuss her life coach that keeps her on track and a big shout out to Corralee Beatty.  If you're a woman in construction you can find out more about Coralee on her instagram page @thrivehq and be sure to follow Gloria @glojoy.co

Gloria Fuentes - Part 1 GloJoy

I immediately liked talking with Gloria of GloJoy Companies and I quickly realized we were going to have to rewind quite a bit to get the full story.  So much so that an hour passed and we still hadn't gotten to the drywall parts.  I decided to make this interview into a two part episode because I felt that was the only way to properly do justice to this awesome person.  Gloria is an ambitious creative who has a knack for learning new things.  We have to touch all these based to get to the bottom of who she is.  We do that and much much more on this, Part 1 of this two part series and the 73rd episode of The Drywall Podcast.  Be sure to follow Gloria on all the platforms and get to know this construction mogul.

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.
