Keith Duffy

Keith Duffy, owner of Kickass Concrete in Hawaii, joins Captain T and the Purist for a lively and unforgettable conversation. Fresh off his 3rd-place finish in the DCE 2026 Smackdown Competition, Keith shares what it’s really like to live and work as a decorative concrete contractor on the islands. From the challenges of pouring concrete in Hawaii to the unique lifestyle that comes with it, Keith brings energy, humor, and plenty of insight. He even calls back to memorable moments from past episodes, making this a full-circle conversation for longtime listeners. This one goes off the rails in the best way—stories, laughs, and real talk about building a “kickass” life in an extraordinary place. We could’ve kept this going for hours, and there’s no doubt we’ll have Keith back again soon. And since Keith created a pool table at this year’s Decorative Concrete Expo, the Purist puts both him and Captain T to the test with a fun dive into the history of pool.
