In our very first episode, we sit down with Gray Rochester, President of Simpson Panel, to talk about what it really means to grow up in the construction industry. Coming from a family deeply rooted in the business for generations, Gray shares firsthand insight into the lessons, challenges, and values that come with carrying on a legacy.
We dive into the realities of multi-generational leadership, how the industry has evolved, and what it takes to balance tradition with innovation. Whether you're in construction, part of a family business, or just curious about the people behind the projects, this conversation sets the tone for wha this podcast is all about-real stories from the people building the industry.
