The Flex Offense with Mike Ellerbrook

Mike Ellerbrook sits down with Jason Estep, a legendary high school football coach who walked away from the sideline to join UFP three years ago. They talk about his path from the field to the plant, what he has learned leading teams in a business he had never worked in, and what makes a great leader.

Mike Ellerbrook sits down with Dominic Glikas, Account Manager at UFP Site Built's Berlin, NJ plant, for the first "next generation" guest on The Flex Offense. Dominic grew up just a couple miles from the plant, got his start in residential real estate, and joined UFP in April 2020, right as the pandemic hit, starting on the production floor before moving into sales.

In this episode, Dominic talks about learning the business from the ground up, navigating the boom years of 2022 and 2023 versus today's tighter margins, and why he decided to start building UFP's presence on Instagram (@Dom_UFP). They cover his approach to storytelling and video content, how builders and other trades have started following along, and what he sees next for social media in the construction industry.
