A vast amount of our built environment is made of concrete. It’s largely affordable, durable and easy to make. It’s also responsible, by some estimates, for roughly 8% of global CO2 emissions. But the U.S. is also facing a significant housing demand shortage, and since concrete is one of the primary building materials for houses and apartments, scientists are working to make it more sustainable to produce. Late last year, a research lab at Oregon State University made a breakthrough when they created a more environmentally friendly concrete derived from soil instead of cement. Besides emitting less CO2 during production, it’s strong, dries fast and it can be 3D printed more rapidly. Devin Roach is an assistant professor of manufacturing and mechanical engineering at OSU. He joins us to share more about how the concrete was made, why it’s useful and the possibilities for commercial use.

PRESENTED BY: CONCRETE LOGIC ACADEMY Practical education and ongoing development for concrete professionals at every stage of their career. Join here: https://www.concretelogicacademy.com/ EPISODE SUMMARY If you're building something new in this industry—mix designs, equipment, software, processes—there's a good chance you're creating intellectual property… without realizing it. In this episode, Seth Tandett sits down with Chen Wang, CEO of Steelike, to talk patents, trade secrets, NDAs, and the real-world decisions that decide whether you protect your advantage—or hand it to someone else. This isn't legal theory. It's how innovation actually gets copied in construction, why “we'll just patent it” is usually oversimplified, and what a smart IP strategy looks like when you're trying to build a business. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN · The difference between patents, trade secrets, and copyrights (and why it matters) · When a patent makes sense—and when it can create new headaches · How trade secrets can last forever (but only if you treat them like secrets) · What you should protect: formulations, processes, tooling, or workflow · Why NDAs are common—and why they don't magically solve everything · How enforcement really works when someone copies your idea · The biggest misconceptions about IP in construction and engineering · How to build an IP strategy that matches your business model CHAPTERS 00:00 – Understanding intellectual property in construction 05:00 – The basics of intellectual property 08:34 – When to patent vs. keep a trade secret 10:32 – Deciding what to protect: formulations and processes 13:52 – Enforcing patents and trade secrets 15:58 – The risks and rewards of patents 18:47 – Identifying valuable trade secrets 20:05 – Protecting your ideas before sharing 23:33 – Navigating NDAs in the construction industry 25:24 – Developing an IP strategy 27:37 – Misconceptions about IP in construction GUEST INFO Chen Wang, CEO Steelike Chen@steelike.com https://steelike.com/ CONCRETE LOGIC PARTNERS INTELLIGENT CONCRETE Concrete not behaving the way it should?

If you love concrete but feel stuck turning skill into a sustainable business, this episode is your roadmap. In the first Concrete Podcast of 2026, we break down the real business of concrete countertops, GFRC, DIY concrete, and concrete sinks, from pricing and tools to marketing, risk, and long-term growth. This is not theory or hype, it's lived experience, the mistakes, near misses, and hard lessons that separate struggling shops from profitable ones. Whether you're a DIY maker thinking about going pro or an experienced concrete artisan looking to tighten margins and reclaim your time, this episode helps you build a concrete business that supports your life instead of consuming it. #ConcretePodcast #ConcreteCountertops #GFRC #DIYConcrete #ConcreteSinks #ConcreteBusiness #MakerBusiness
A 20-foot-tall concrete spiral was recently completed at the Audubon Center at Riverlands nature reserve near St. Louis. The structure's practical use will be as a bird blind — a temporary home for migratory birds. But there's something else that's fascinating about this structure: A novel method of shaping concrete. To get to the bottom of this spiral (and inside its concrete walls) we talk with Pablo Moyano Fernández, associate professor of architecture at WashU's Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts. Moyano Fernández is the creator of that structure, called "Avis Spiralis."

Dark Concrete: Black Power Urbanism and the American Metropolis (Cornell UP, 2025) by Dr. Kimberley Johnson is about how the Black Power movement reshaped urban politics in the United States—from expectations to practices. Although the national and international dimensions of the Black Power movement are often focused on, Dr. Johnson looks at the movement at the local level, highlighting Newark and East Orange, New Jersey, and Oakland and East Palo Alto, California, and three policy areas: housing, education, and policing. Dr. Johnson examines how Black Power Urbanism had its own local meanings as it was defined by local activists, neighborhood residents, parents, tenants, and others who sought to repair cities and particularly black neighborhoods that were shattered due to urban renewal and highway construction, as well as ongoing political and economic disinvestment. Dark Concrete depicts how local conditions influenced the emergence of the Black Power movement and, in turn, the ways in which these local movements reshaped urban politics, institutions, and place. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Ep. 366: Sundance 2026 - Amy Taubin on the festival, plus a preview of John Wilson's The History of Concrete Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. The Sundance Film Festival begins its 2026 edition, and to kick off its final, I took a look back with Amy Taubin, a Sundance veteran who has written about the festival's films and evolution over decades. She shares her thoughts on Sundance, past and present, and we trade notes on titles in this edition whose premieres we have been anticipating, including the historic Once Upon a Time in Harlem. Finally, I talk about one festival highlight premiering on opening night, The History of Concrete, directed by John Wilson (of HBO's “How to With John Wilson” fame), and Taubin reflects on the history of Sundance's vaunted Main Street.

Have you ever been in that place where you've felt like the vision wasn't being given to you, your goals weren't clear, or the strategy wasn't focused, so you couldn't lead? Kate Pangallo has built her career navigating that tension, leading through constant change, often without a clear roadmap. And she has had to decide again and again what part she will play in extending a sense of vision and stability to others when it hasn't been given to her. We're all looking for stability and comfort, but change is the only constant we can expect. Every leader who's ever stood in the messiness of change has felt the ground shift right beneath their feet. In those moments, the only thing you can control is your response. The best shot we have at predicting our future is to step up and create it. That requires us to take responsibility for the next step, even when there is no guarantee it is the right one. Focusing on the next step gives you power and lessens the overwhelm. Where in your life are you waiting for stability that may never come? What is the next step you need to take to create your future? Episode Highlights (00:00) How do you lead when you haven't been given a clear vision, strategy, or goals?

Oh boy, grab your hard hat and hold onto your toolbox because Eric G is diving into the wild world of the housing market and remodeling for 2026! Spoiler alert: things are getting real “interesting” out there. Builder confidence is dropping faster than my patience when I can't find my favorite tool, with a recent dip to a not-so-rosy 37 on the index. But fear not, we're also seeing renovation spending gearing up for a little comeback, so maybe there's hope for our home improvement dreams yet! Join me as I dissect the chaos of today's market, the absurdity of house flips that make you question humanity, and what the future might hold as we navigate this ever-turbulent housing landscape. You won't want to miss this midweek update filled with sarcasm, insights, and a sprinkle of good old-fashioned mockery—because really, who doesn't need a laugh while discussing home prices? The housing market is like that friend who promises to show up but always bails last minute—totally unreliable and frustratingly unpredictable. This week, Eric G dives deep into the current state of housing and remodeling, predicting what 2026 might look like for all of us poor souls trying to make sense of it. Spoiler alert: it's not all sunshine and rainbows. With builder confidence dropping and sales expectations plummeting, it's clear that we're in for a bumpy ride. Just when you thought things couldn't get worse, 40% of builders are cutting prices like they're at a clearance sale—except, you know, it's not a great sign for the overall market. We're talking average price drops of 6%, which is just sad and tells you everything you need to know about the state of affairs. But wait, there's a glimmer of hope! Renovation spending is on the rise for 2026, which might just save our collective sanity. It's like finding a five-dollar bill in your pocket when you thought you were broke. Eric also dishes out some juicy tidbits about the ongoing trade shows in the construction world—where the tools come out to play, and the latest trends do a little dance. From World of Concrete to the International Builder Show, there's a lot happening, and Eric promises to keep us in the loop, even if it means dragging us through the mud of the current housing crisis. As if that weren't enough, Eric has a brilliant idea brewing—he's considering a podcast series dedicated to the absolute horror shows that are some of the house flips he's seen around Portland. Seriously, folks, it's like a train wreck you can't look away from. So, strap in and prepare for a wild ride as we navigate the murky waters of the housing market together. Let's just hope we don't need to build an ark by 2026!Takeaways:The housing market is cooling down with builder confidence falling to 37 in January, not exactly a glowing endorsement for future buyers.Almost 40% of builders are cutting prices, and the average price reduction has jumped to 6%, which is just a little alarming if you ask me.If you thought renovations were on the rise, you might be right—spending on home improvements is expected to rise throughout 2026. Yay for us!Mortgage rates are sitting at about 6.06%, which is the lowest we've seen since late 2022, but don't get too excited about the good old days of 3%.Everyone seems to be holding off on major HVAC upgrades because prices are skyrocketing, and who wants to drop a fortune on a heat pump right now?Energy-efficient upgrades, like EV chargers, are losing their charm in 2026 as more homeowners already have them...
Struggling to find your purpose or feel fulfilled in your career? In this episode, Krista sits down with renowned career coach and TED Talk expert Ashley Stahl for a surprising take on why “following your passion” might be sabotaging your professional happiness—and what to do instead. Ashley breaks down how to reconnect with your core self, identify your natural strengths, and create a career path that feels aligned, sustainable, and energizing. They explore how to move out of confusion, burnout, and constant comparison, and into clarity, confidence, and self-trust. The girls dive deep into self-worth, imposter syndrome, and the power of crafting a compelling personal story. Ashley shares practical frameworks for testing new paths through side hustles + job crafting, and making bold moves from a regulated, grounded place rather than fear or pressure. We also talk about: Why “do what you love” is terrible advice—and what to do instead The three “lily pads” of career fulfillment + how to leap to the next one Releasing shame + self-doubt in a social media obsessed world Why core values matter more than you think (and how to spot yours) The essential link between nervous system regulation + making major life changes Concrete tips on self-calibration, intuition, and finding your true “home base” Building a standout elevator pitch + telling your story with confidence The untold truth about success: sculpting yourself for what you want—and holding it Resources: Website: https://wisewhisperagency.com/about-us/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/you-turn-podcast-w-ashley-stahl/id1382321276 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashleystahl/?hl=en Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.

We design concrete for 75 years. So why are we okay watching it fail in 12 to 24 months? That's the uncomfortable question Seth Tandett puts on the table with Dr. Jon Belkowitz in this episode. Codes, specifications, and budgets are still written around a 50–75 year design life. But in the field, concrete surfaces are scaling, wearing, and failing in as little as a year or two. Instead of revisiting that original promise, the industry seems stuck reacting to failures instead of asking why they're happening. This conversation challenges some long‑held assumptions about specifications, durability, performance testing, and why compressive strength tells us almost nothing about whether concrete will actually last. This isn't about theory. It's about what's showing up on real projects—and why no one seems willing to talk about the gap between what we design for and what we're getting.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN · Why the 75‑year design life quietly disappeared from industry conversations · How concrete surfaces went from 20–30 year service expectations to failing in 12–24 months · Why compressive strength is one of the most forgiving—and misleading—tests we rely on · What durability indicators actually matter if service life is the goal · How prescriptive specs box everyone in and protect no one · Why performance‑based specifications are the only real path forward · What Peter Taylor's work gets right about protecting the concrete surface · How warranty language misses durability altogether · Why practical field intelligence keeps getting ignoredCHAPTERS 00:00 – Intro and how to support the Concrete Logic Podcast 03:42 – Why we stopped talking about 75‑year design life 06:30 – The disconnect between specs and field performance 08:59 – Why compressive strength doesn't equal durability 12:07 – The industry's reliance on paper over field reality 14:34 – Why specifications need to change 15:22 – Prescription vs performance‑based specs 19:12 – What should actually be specified for durability 21:28 – Using performance tests to enforce accountability 25:22 – Warranty periods and real‑world consequences 28:07 – The concrete surface as the first line of defense 31:30 – What the industry really lost—and how to get it backGUEST INFO Dr. Jon Belkowitz Intelligent Concrete https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com/guests/jon-belkowitz/CONCRETE LOGIC PARTNERS INTELLIGENT CONCRETE Concrete not behaving the way it should?

The concrete of ancient Rome is famous for its durability. Just look at the Pantheon and those iconic aqueducts that helped transport water throughout the empire—still standing 2,000 years later.But knowledge about how this concrete was made hasn't been very solid. Well, scientists have discovered a construction site in Pompeii preserved in the volcanic ash, which might hold clues to how we can improve our concrete today. Concrete researcher Admir Masic joins Host Ira Flatow to discuss the findings.Plus, we'll look at the infrastructure of the future with engineer Benjamin Lee, who breaks down the recent news of tech companies looking to move their power-hungry data centers to space. They discuss the daunting engineering challenges and possible benefits.Guests:Dr. Admir Masic is an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Send me a message8% of global emissions come from the material we barely talk about.Concrete. Cement. The literal foundations of modern life, and one of the hardest climate problems we face.In this episode, I'm joined by Ana Luisa Vaz, VP of Product at Paebbl, to unpack why construction is such a stubborn emissions hotspot, and what it would take to genuinely change that.Ana explains why cement emits CO₂ by design, not by accident. Half its emissions come from chemistry, not fuel. You can electrify kilns and still be stuck with the carbon. That's why Paebbl is taking a different path: using accelerated mineralisation to turn captured CO₂ into a cement substitute, permanently locking carbon into concrete itself.We dig into what “permanence” really means in carbon removal, why performance matters more than good intentions, and how conservative industries like construction can adopt new materials without compromising safety. You'll hear how Paebbl can already replace up to 30% of cement today, why cost curves matter more than green premiums, and how digital tools, sensors, and models are accelerating learning in an industry that usually moves at a glacial pace.We also explore the role of policy, public procurement, and cities, the uncomfortable changes the sector needs to unlearn, and whether carbon-negative construction is a realistic goal this century, or just another climate promise that collapses under scrutiny.This is a conversation about climate tech that lives in the physical world. Hard to abate. Harder to ignore.

In this deep dive, we unpack imposter syndrome—the psychological state where you believe you're undeserving despite overwhelming evidence of your achievements—and reveal actionable strategies to break free.What You'll Learn: ✅ Why high achievers attribute success to luck instead of skill ✅ The "survival mechanism" behind self-diminishment ✅ How imposter syndrome directly fuels chronic burnout ✅ Concrete behavioral hacks to recognize your true worth ✅ The dangerous cycle of perfectionism and overworkKey Strategies Covered:1. The Accomplishment Audit Document specific micro-actions behind each win. Don't write "closed big deal"—write "spent 7 hours cross-referencing industry standards, leveraged 3 key network intros, restructured cost model."2. Active Strength Identification List inherent skills you undervalue and connect them to your achievements.3. Evidence-Based Thought Challenging When "I'm a fraud" thoughts appear, demand objective evidence. Your accomplishment stack will dwarf your fears.4. The "Thank You" Hack Stop deflecting praise. Say "thank you" and STOP. No "but," no self-deprecation, no minimizing.5. The Success Log Maintain a repository of achievement evidence: positive emails, compliments, metrics. Reference it during self-doubt.

How should classical education respond to artificial intelligence—and what happens to formation when machines can teach faster than humans? In this panel from the 2025 Annapolis Summit, CLT brings together leading scholars and practitioners to wrestle with AI, virtue, and the future of learning.Moderated by Dr. Angel Adams Parham (University of Virginia; President of the CLT Board of Academic Advisors), this conversation features Dr. Christopher Perrin (Classical Academic Press), Dr. Brian Williams (Templeton Honors College, Eastern University), and Erin Valdez (University of Austin; education and public policy). They discuss how AI is already reshaping classrooms, what is at stake for the telos of education, and how classical schools, homeschoolers, and universities can use new tools without sacrificing human formation.Across the panel you'll hear:Stories from higher ed and K–12 about plagiarism, AI‑graded essays, and “alpha schools” that rely on AI tutors instead of teachers.A deep dive into the difference between information and formation, and why contemplation, attention, and love of the good cannot be automated.Concrete use‑cases where AI may genuinely serve classical learning (e.g., language drilling, logistics, research assistance) and where it risks dehumanizing students.Recorded live at the 2025 Annapolis Summit, hosted by Classic Learning Test (CLT). Perfect for parents, teachers, school leaders, and students who care about classical education, virtue ethics, and the future of humane learning in an AI age.

Opening: Joy evangelizes (and kids teach us)The “joyful demeanor” that opens doors to talking about Jesus (without getting weird).A godfather breakfast on a baptism anniversary becomes a living lesson in evangelization.“Five seconds” theology: most of our daily encounters are brief—so what do we do with them?The Thomistic pivot: Why life feels like a blurTime accelerates as you age; “someday” becomes a trap.Many men feel stuck for 10–15 years—spiritually, vocationally, relationally, and in work.The antidote isn't bigger ambition—it's better order.Aquinas on happiness: What won't satisfyAquinas method: name the end (happiness), then rule out false ends.Wealth: money is a means, not a final end.Honor / reputation: depends on others; happiness must be stable and interior.Power: instrumental, addictive, and easily disguised as “leadership.”Pleasure: real and good, but cannot be the end—pleasure perfects an act, it doesn't define the goal.The positive claim: What happiness actually isPerfect happiness is the vision of God (beatific vision).We can't fully attain it in this life, but we can live an imperfect happiness by ordering our lives toward it.Key shift: beatitude, not optimization.Hierarchy of goods (practical framework for 2026)Three filters for any resolution:Is it ordered toward the highest good? (God, truth, contemplation)Does it support your vocation? (husband/father, priest, etc.)Does it treat lesser goods as means? (money, status, comfort serve the mission)Concrete resolutions (small, durable, lifelong)“Not huge shifts—small profitable habits that stick.”Guarding silence and adding a few more minutes of contemplative prayer.A reminder: you can “succeed” without prayer, but not in the way a Christian wants to succeed.The closing medicine: Gratitude slows timeGratitude grounds you in the present and breaks the “always next” mindset.
