Hometown Radio 08/29/2025 4p: Guest Host Craig Hill deconstructs the construction industry with Dane Landrith

Send us a textGary Reichert, owner of Shield Wall Media, joins Jared Ledford on the Steel Kings podcast to reveal the powerful strategies behind his company's success in construction industry publishing and trade show management. What began as a job selling advertising has transformed into ownership of a media conglomerate that's reshaping how construction professionals connect and do business.Shield Wall Media has found remarkable success by focusing on underserved market niches within construction. Their flagship publications - including Rural Builder (celebrating nearly 60 years), Frame Building News, Metal Roofing Magazine, and Roll Forming Magazine - provide specialized content unavailable elsewhere. But what truly sets them apart is their approach to trade shows, particularly the upcoming Construction Role Forming Show in Dayton (October 1-2).Unlike typical industry events that welcome anyone with an entrance fee, Shield Wall's shows strictly target qualified attendees who possess real purchasing power. "We go for the people that sign in front of the check, not the back of the check," Reichert explains, ensuring exhibitors connect with potential customers capable of making substantial purchases. This laser-focused approach has yielded impressive results, with manufacturers reporting closing significant deals directly at these events.Transparency permeates everything Shield Wall does. They provide complete attendee lists to exhibitors at no additional charge, donate all entrance fees to charity (over $30,000 last year), and produce detailed industry data reports broken down by region - filling crucial information gaps for specialized construction segments typically overlooked by broader market analyses.Perhaps most fascinating is Shield Wall's newest initiative: children's books about construction trades. With "Max Builds a Metal Roof" nearing publication, this innovative approach addresses the critical shortage of young people entering the trades by creating positive emotional connections early in life, potentially inspiring future career interests while helping family-owned construction businesses build meaningful connections with the next generation.Ready to experience the Shield Wall difference?

We discuss how modular construction and prefabricated housing can address Canada's housing crisis through improved labor productivity. The hosts examine Canada's productivity challenges compared to the US, particularly in construction, and explore innovative building methods that could accelerate housing production despite an aging workforce. Canada needs to double its housing construction to approximately 430,000-480,000 annual starts to restore affordability, but faces barriers including labor shortages and weak productivity in residential construction⁠⁠. A "silver tsunami" of retirements will remove about 270,000 construction workers (one-fifth of the workforce) over the next decade, creating an urgent need for productivity improvements⁠⁠. Innovative methods like modular construction can reduce build times by 20-50%, while mass timber requires half the workforce of concrete builds and speeds construction by 30% Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) | BMO Global Asset Management Buy & sell real estate with Ai at Valery.ca Get a mortgage pre-approval with Owl Mortgage Go AD FREE free 1 week trial for Realist PremiumSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Eric highlights the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across various industries, particularly construction and landscaping. He recounts experiences from a technology conference, mentioning conversations with successful contractors who are embracing AI to streamline operations and enhance efficiency, rather than simply replacing human labor. While acknowledging skepticism from some regarding AI's ability to replicate human empathy or relationships in customer service, the speaker passionately argues that ignoring AI will lead to being left behind by competitors. He stresses the importance of adopting a proactive mindset towards integrating AI into business processes, suggesting even dedicated daily time to explore its applications, and illustrates this with examples like AI-powered reporting tools and the rapid evolution of autonomous machinery. Ultimately, Eric's central theme is the inevitable and rapid progression of AI, and he is urging businesses to adapt and leverage this technology to foster growth and improve customer interactions. Key Takeaways: Actively engage with new technologies like AI to streamline your business operations and sales processes, or risk being left behind by competitors. Attend industry conferences and events to connect with top professionals, learn emerging trends, and gain invaluable insights. Prioritize developing strong human connections and empathetic communication with your customers, as AI cannot fully replicate genuine personal relationships. Dedicate regular time, even starting small, to explore and implement AI technologies to improve your business and daily life. Maintain an open and adaptive mindset towards rapidly advancing technologies, understanding that historical skepticism often gives way to widespread adoption.

In This Episode What happens when a great team is forced to work without a great system? According to Jason Schroeder, the result is predictable—and painful. In this engaging episode of the Systems Simplified podcast, host Adi Klevit sits down with Jason to explore why systems are the ultimate form of respect in the construction industry and how leaders can use them to transform company culture, improve safety, and boost performance. Jason shares how his early exposure to well-run construction projects revealed the power of systems, and how the industry's shift away from structured training led him to found Elevate Construction. He and Adi discuss why many organizations resist change, how to separate system flaws from personal blame, and what makes lean thinking so effective when implemented correctly. Throughout the conversation, Jason emphasizes the role of education, the importance of understanding the “why,” and why real leadership means empowering others through clarity and repeatability. His insights are applicable far beyond construction—any industry can benefit from a systems-first mindset.

The Building BITE hosts Chris Epps, LEED AP, and Mike Diercksen, CRIS, welcome back Josh Levy, Co-Founder and CEO of Document Crunch. We begin the episode by revisiting our previous discussion with Josh, highlighting what has changed for Document Crunch in the two plus years since our last conversation.

Wrap Your Head Around Your Tariff Risk: This is non-negotiable. Knowledge is power, and the quicker you and your firm can wrap your head around the current market factors, the better decisions you will be able to make. The firms that are quickest to adapt will be best positioned to make their way through this unique risk period. 2. AI is here to stay: AI is real and here to stay, but this is a two-way street. As a partner, make sure your vendors are not only providing AI to check a box, but real solutions for real problems. Vendors need active buy-in and field input to developing the best quality solutions. This partnership will be the bedrock of future innovation and success. 3. A Path Towards Zero Disputes: This is a recognized ,ambitious goal, but the path is clear to Josh. Technology and effective communication can transform our industry and move us towards a world with zero disputes. This is the driving force behind Document Crunch, and the impact he wishes to have on the Construction Industry at large.
