From window installs to wellness trends, we’re covering it all. Mark is joined by Jenn Tuetken, the Director of Innovation & Design, who brought you Pella’s innovative Steady Set™ system. They talk R&D, jobsite safety, reducing install times, and how a small insight led to a big industry shift. Plus: IBS trade show stories, cold plunge culture, and the power of storytelling in product design. If you’ve ever wondered how the pros actually innovate—this one’s for you.
