In this week's 'The Concrete Podcast,' we dive into a highly informative episode. Beyond marketing, we tackle the art of crafting your style and perfecting your products. We explore concrete transportation methods and freight pitfalls. We also touch on the ever-appealing SCC GFRC topic. If you've missed a few episodes, now's the time to return.

We're thrilled to announce that registration is now open for the 2023 'Concrete Hoedown in The Holler' in McEwen, Tennessee, with a cost of JUST $300! Mark your calendars for October 27th and 28th!

In case you're unfamiliar with the Hoedown, it's not your typical formal training workshop, but rather an informal gathering where we come together to engage in the hands-on activities of mixing, casting, curing, and sealing concrete. This event is like a warm embrace, welcoming both old and new friends to enjoy cold beer, savor delicious BBQ, engage in target shooting, share stories around a campfire, and, most importantly, celebrate our shared passion for concrete. It's a soul-reviving experience set in the picturesque hills and hollers of Tennessee.

Hosted on the property of renowned concrete artisan Dusty Baker, this event takes place in an idyllic location during a beautiful time of the year.

Everyone is invited, regardless of the products you prefer, your past training experiences, or any past opinions you may have had about BG or Jon! Ultimately, we are all part of the same tribe united by our love for concrete. We sincerely hope you'll join us in this unique celebration.

In this episode of 'The Concrete Podcast,' BG and Jon squarely face criticism for their unvarnished truths. They reject the trade-off between candor and politeness.

They then delve into the hazards of chasing cheap, warn against SuperGlue's unsuitability in mold making, and explore software for crafting precise shop drawings.

Join us for an immersive 2.5-day workshop called the Concrete Hero's Quest. In this workshop, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate with Joe Bates and team as we embark on a unique project: constructing and casting an exceptional post-tensioned concrete table that sets new industry standards. This table will be cast in an upright position and feature an exquisite hand-tooled finish.

Following the table construction, we will delve into the realm of innovation by employing the exclusive Ramm-Crete technique, developed by the renowned Brandon Gore. This groundbreaking method of casting cladding panels is not taught anywhere else, making our workshop a truly exceptional learning experience. Brandon Gore, a prominent rammed earth builder, with the help of materials visionary Jon Schuler, has ingeniously adapted Kodiak Pro RADmix to achieve the stunning Ramm-Crete finish.

On a somber, storm-laden night, a tempestuous squall ravaged the plains, rousing BG from slumber to discover a fallen tree atop his truck. This predicament could either signal the commencement of an ill-fated day or an unforeseen chance to capture a podcast, just moments before a much-needed respite. Within the depths of 'The Concrete Podcast,' BG and Jon engage in discourse concerning concrete tile, tile mix design, and adhesives crafted explicitly for such purposes. Unveiling the duplicitous practices of salesmen peddling foam-crete as they hypocritically advocate for its acceptance becomes a focal point of their conversation. Astonishingly, the dialogue veers into the realm of harrowing encounters with the merciless jaws of ravenous sharks. Ultimately, investing one's time in the auditory realm of this episode of 'The Concrete Podcast' proves to be a judicious choice.
