The Drywall Podcast - Where the Trade Meets the Craft

Dieter reached out to me recently because he was curious about how Fresco Harmony could help the company he works for Co.ME out of Italy.  They make some pretty awesome drywall and plaster tools and he was wondering if I might want to try them out.  Of course I said yes but I told him the only stipulation was that he had to be on The Drywall Podcast.  He agreed and the rest is history.  Dieter is a great guy and he has a wealth of knowledge, not only in drywall, but also in plaster.  We talk a lot about plaster and how he became the new North American sales rep for Co.ME.  Come take a trip down memory lane as we wax poetic about drywall and beyond on this, the 122nd, episode of The Drywall Podcast.

Jay Delk is a third generation drywall finisher out of Clarksville TN.  He recently started using Fresco Harmony because he won some from a contest hosted by CSR.  Not only has he begun using Fresco Harmony but he decided to come to Albuquerque to learn more about the product.  We talk about his recent adventure to Albuquerque but we also dive into his early days surfing and how he tried a few different trades before he landed back in drywall.  Jay is very well spoken and we have a great conversation on this, the 121st episode of The Drywall Podcast.

Sheila and I have a lot of parallels.  We become instant friends on the unlikeliest of episodes.  Sheila is the owner and developer of a new drywall product called Mudd Skip.  This product is revolutionary and very cool to work with.  They were nice enough to send me some product to try out with Fresco Harmony and I have to say it works great! You'll find out all you need to know about this stuff in this episode but if you're inclined you can head over to their website www.muddskip.com and check out the videos over there that explain this product in detail.  Sheila is an amazing, strong, enthusiastic, power woman who is taking the drywall industry by storm and The Drywall Podcast gets to have a front row seat on this, the 120th episode of The Drywall Podcast.  I hope you enjoy it!

If you don't know Joe Koenig of Trim-Tex I recommend listening to this episode.  Joe is one of the nicest guys I've ever met, and has been a champion of Fresco Harmony for over a decade.  We dive head first into the history of Trim-Tex drywall products and their beginnings when Joe Senior migrated from Yugoslavia.  Both Joes are impressive business men and this episode acknowledges that.  If you've been curious about Trim-Tex and how they came to be, this episode will be extremely enjoyable for you. Lets take a walk down memory lane on this, the 119th episode of The Drywall Podcast.

We welcome Brad Hanna back onto The Drywall Podcast after two years but it didn't occur to me that his first interview was only 19 minutes.  After a reconnection at the CSR Black Friday Event in Vaughn ON we decided we better reconnect and get more of the story.  We talk a lot about the early days of influencers on social media and where social media has gone today.  We discuss the tools and we also talk some about religion.  Brad is a real talker and so am I so this episode worked out just fine for the both of us and I hope it works out well for you too on this, the 118th episode of The Drywall Podcast.

What an absolute pleasure it was having Monica and Jud on the show.  It's nice to get a perspective of Fresco Harmony from a couple of pros why aren't exactly in the drywall industry.  That's right...  Monica and Judy are the first professional painters to grace The Drywall Podcast and I couldn't be more lucky.  Not only are they extremely professional at what they do, they aren't scared to try something new.  We talk about their first experience with Fresco Harmony, the housing industry in Paonia and how Monica found herself loving life in a small Colorado community.  There's lots of laughs and lots of great information on this, the 117th, episode of The Drywall Podcast.

It's always a pleasure to talking with Big Dawg but getting to sit down with him a second time was special.  Recently Big Dawg went through some life difficulties when he was injured on the job and had to move his fiancé and child.  We talk about the challenges of running a business and how these circumstances led him to turn to a higher power for strength to move forward.  Stephen is amazing in the face of difficulty and has shown that he has what it takes to be a leader in drywall and in life.  Big Dawg brings it real in this episode of The Drywall Podcast.

I'm so glad James reached out to me.  He's one of those people who you just connect with right away.  He's extremely intelligent, well spoken, and has a dynamic skill set that has enabled him to take an idea and develop a product in his garage that just might revolutionize the way sanding is done in the drywall industry.  He's very funny and we get into the weeds on the industry, marketing, and how it came to be that he is now a product developer.  I'm pretty sure you're going to like this episode, the 115th episode, of The Drywall Podcast.

Mauricio was referred to me by the kind folks at Solid Drywall.  He began doing drywall after he moved up to Toronto and his uncle Sol showed him the ropes.  Shortly after starting his own company he started on social media showing his work because he looked so young that people questioned his ability to achieve jobs.  That little social media experience catapulted his following to over 242K on Instagram and 139K followers on Facebook.  He's a fantastic guy to talk to and listening to on this, the 114th episode of The Drywall Podcast.

On this episode we pay tribute to a drywall legend.  Kameron Brown known as itsyamankam passed away on Tuesday October 1st after working on a drywall project in Effingham IL.  Kam was a pivotal figure in the drywall space and friends with anyone who had the pleasure of coming into contact with him.  I was lucky enough to be with him on his last day and I feel it's important to tell my story from this perspective.  This is the very first solo podcast by Nick Harmon explaining the profound relationship between Kam and myself, what happened on Oct 1st and what we can do as a drywall community to ensure his legacy lives on.  I miss my friend but his stories and impact is still very much alive in our hearts.  We remember that legacy on this, the 113th episode of The Drywall Podcast.

RIP Kam we love you!!!
