From the Fabricator! S5E10- Brady Nails (MT Contracting) & Mike DeFrank (Country Glass)

Fun new podcast episode is up!  The latest From the Fabricator features two individuals whose Fathers were in the business, and they have applied the lessons learned from them to make significant strides in their own careers.  I start with Brady Nails of MT Contracting in Montana.  Extensive conversation that had a ton of interesting nuggets, including training and recruitment, along with insight on AI in the industry.  Then Mike DeFrank joined me.  Mike just landed at Country Glass in Dallas, and it was great to get his perspective on various aspects of the business, including business development in a softer market and working in all aspects of our business.  Two talented individuals who will be players in our space for a long time —and who knows, maybe their kids will follow in their footsteps too!  Thank you, as always, for checking it out.  I appreciate it!Thank you to FHC-Frameless Hardware Company for sponsoring this episode. While others raise prices and scale back, FHC is investing forward.As vendor memos roll out with sweeping increases and vague “market conditions,” FHC is choosing a different path: expanding product lines, opening new Service Centers, and growing support and production teams.Instead of passing the pressure downstream, FHC is absorbing as much as possible — staying committed to competitive pricing, innovative products, and top-tier service.FHC isn’t just here to sell to the industry — they’re here to support it, grow with it, and lead it forward.FHC is committed to standing with their customers.From the Fabricator- #Glass and #Glazing hosted by Max Perilstein, Managing Partner of Sole Source Consultants.  Connect with Max on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/max-perilstein-409ba111/
