The Construction Dorkcast

All I can say is wow, you are in for a treat. Construction DorkCast 20, The Dork-ettes Part Deux did not disappoint. Jisell Howe, Kalyn Lengieza, Andrea Breen, Anne Pfleger, and Lil (she insists we just call her Lil) join us in a spirited celebration of Women in Construction Week where we talk diversity, allyship, mentoring, and how to people of all backgrounds more interested in construction. Just sit back and enjoy.

Welcome back to the Construction DorkCast for Episode 19, Mixed Mechanical Arts with the Queen of Prefab, Amy Marks. Amy hangs out with us and lets her geek flag fly as we talk all things industrialized construction and what impact it is going to have on multiple areas of the construction industry. We do go heavy into a company focused discussion which we normally don’t do, but it was in the context in the conversation and we learned how even the Autodesks of the world are learning there isn’t going to be one ring to rule them all.

Welcome back to the Construction DorkCast. Here in episode 18 we sit down and talk with Hugh Seaton. You’d better buckle up and remain seated through this wild and dorky ride as we have a blast talking about his book, his work at CSI, as well as just randomly wandering through the matrix and discuss whatever pops into our crazy heads as we go. We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did and as always, thank you for listening.

Thank you for joining us for episode 17 of the Construction DorkCast. In this episode we celebrate Dork of the Year Lilian Magallanes on her DOY. She leads us down several nerdy topics and settles in on AI and NGL, bringing in her friend Jenn Bittinger to dive into those TLAs. No I am not going to spell these out, Nathan. Please join us next week as we get down with some more dorks and talk deep tech and maybe deep state….Jonathan…?

Welcome back to the Construction Dorkcast. We kick this new year off with two of our very good friends Mike Zivanovic and Stephan Schnell talking about what else, but tech and the trades. These two pioneers tell us about how they got started in growing tech training in their respective halls and get very passionate on their soapboxes about how to attack the labor shortage and get young people interested in construction.

Thank you for tuning in to Episode 15 of the Construction DorkCast. This is the last episode for us this year and we changed things up a bit and it was, well, a shit show. We invited in all of the live attendees to talk about their favorite episodes, what they’d like to see us do in the new year, and generally recreated the atmosphere we would normally find ourselves in while networking and hanging out. We really hope you’ve enjoyed the podcast this year and encourage you to keep giving us ideas for episodes as well as on how we can improve the show. One thing we’re trying for this episode is to move the snippets we grab from the discussion before going live to the end so listeners can dive right into the show.

Welcome back to the Construction Dorkcast. In episode 14 we bring back Nathan Wood and add in Tom Stemm of the Construction Progress Coalition. This episode centers around one of our favorite topics, data. Why is it so hard to share data among our systems, why is it so hard for data to transfer between stakeholders on the same projects in different companies? These are the types of questions that the CPC has been working on. We hope you enjoy the conversation as we talk about what might be possible if we find the right answers. Stay tuned for the announcement of our next episode. It will be an end of the year wrap up and we want your opinions and input on what next year might look like for the podcast.

Welcome back to the Construction DorkCast. In episode 13 we bring in our friend Darren Young from Hermanson and turn the tables on Jeff to talk about the soft skills needed in IT and tech adoption. As usual we have some laughs along the way while also drawing out the real world experience and knowledge from these two thought leaders on what it takes to build a sound tech strategy as well as how to connect with those field workers who make our companies realize the revenue so we can all get paid. As always, thanks for joining in and we hope you can make it live in two weeks for our next episode.

Thank you for tuning in once again to the latest installment of the Construction DorkCast. In this episode, we revisit the theme “I Dork” Or I am a Dork. An earlier post has caused some confusion and we hope that this episode brings some clarity. To help with this, we bring in Doug Smith of DSI and Travis (OT) Althouse from Revizto to talk about their perspectives as individuals at very different places in their careers on the movement, construction, and technology. Also tune in at the end where I have moved a few of the outtakes, including our first official plea for sponsorship. This was a wide ranging conversation that didn’t end when the recording was off, so please remember to join in live next time!

Also, help us get a Flaviar Sponsorship! Subscribe under Jeff (http://fbuy.me/v/jeffrey_4824) or Travis (http://fbuy.me/v/travis_1662)!!

Thank you for checking out Episode 11 of the Construction DorkCast. In this installment we invited in someone from outside of industry for a crossover podcast. Jim Knight, author of Culture That Rocks, joins us to talk about company, culture, heritage, and how we can brand ourselves both internally and externally. This was a really fun, informative conversation that we hope will inspire you to rock on with your bad self.
