Being a former contractor from Brooklyn it was nice to see a local on this Podcast. The mere fact that he gets contractors together is incredible all in itself. When I was in the business it was a regular routine that if someone showed up on the job you put your tools down and wait until they left just not to show them any secrets.When the person being interviewed keeps saying "that's a great question" you know you're nailing it As Belinda always does. This program not only has the best interviewer on TH-cam, but on the Internet. It is a hub for everything in construction that is the latest and most innovative products and people. There is a wealth of knowledge and opportunity To take advantage of the industry's most forward thinking professionals and materials . I look forward but to this Podcast every single time I get the notification.
I am very proud of the man you have become in a field that you LOVE. Your emphasis on sharing ideas with other architects and contractors, and the importance of learning by doing, are the best of your personality. Always wishing you the best! (Dad)
THANKS BELINDA,AMAZING 🤩🤩 CONTENT AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING 👀 FORWARD TO THIS SINCE I WAS A TEENAGER 🤗 AND CONGRATS 🤗👏👏👏 TO MICHAEL FOR SHARING THIS INFO AND BEING OPEN MINDED 🧐💚💚💚
I am going to address this comment mainly concerning contractors, but I believe the same could be said about architects or design firms. Any where, in the US, you want to find the best contractor in the area, find the firm that it is obvious that 80 to 90% of their employees could be working on their own. I'm retired now, but I used to sell tools and fasteners. The job sites where I had to ASK whether the boss was in, where always the best crews. The bad ones would pretty much shutdown if the big boss wasn't there. They would stop to look at tools. Of course, it was the boss/owner that I wanted to talk to. After observing crews, I could always see that the crews that kept working, had 80 or 90% of their people that you wondered why they didn't go out on their own. I would suggest that you get some suppliers involved in your meetings.
