What if the material you choose could shape more than just your next concrete piece—but your entire outlook on the craft? In this episode of The Concrete Podcast, Joe Bates returns fresh off his trip to Japan, bringing with him a lens of precision, patience, and possibility. We unpack the heart of GFRC—what it is, which fibers are best, and why it's become the go-to for serious makers who care about both beauty and strength. BG shares a personal story about falling out of love with Festool and how that moment clarified something bigger: how tools—and the way we use them—reflect what we value. From the changing tides of the concrete industry to a surprising old product that gives Bondo a run for its money, this episode is a conversation about doing better work, with more intention. Whether you're a seasoned fabricator or just starting out, this one's about choosing materials, methods, and mindsets that actually move the needle. Let's make concrete healthy again.

Welcome to the Engineering Influence podcast from the American Council of Engineering Companies, where we delve into the newly released ACEC Research Institute 2024 Quarter 4 Engineering Business Sentiment Survey. This quarterly survey offers a comprehensive look at current and future business conditions within the engineering industry by interviewing and surveying CEOs across the sector. In this episode, host Jeff is joined by Joe Bates, the researcher behind the survey, as they explore the positive sentiments surrounding the U.S. economy, the industry, and firm finances. Despite a slight moderation, the overall sentiment remains strong, buoyed by the bipartisan infrastructure law and ongoing projects reaching the construction phase. A major challenge discussed is the workforce shortage, with many firms turning down profitable work due to staffing issues. Joe and Jeff address the significant impact of this shortage and economic and political uncertainties on the industry's future outlook. The episode also highlights sectoral winners and losers, with government-supported areas like infrastructure and manufacturing thriving, while commercial real estate struggles. The booming data center market is also discussed, showcasing its continuous growth. Listeners are encouraged to explore the full report for deeper insights and historical trends and stay tuned for upcoming analyses on economic indicators and future forecasts. The episode concludes with a nod to the ongoing work of the ACEC Research Institute in providing valuable data and insights for the engineering community.

In this episode of "The Concrete Podcast," BG and Jon emphasize the significance of product development, highlighting that progress is necessary for success, while stagnation leads to regression. They also delve into the topic of wifi temperature monitors that enable better monitoring of concrete curing, thus preemptively addressing issues that may arise after installation. These sensors have revolutionized the way the concrete cure is managed and understood. The episode concludes with a discussion about the advantages of supporting local small businesses as opposed to large corporations owned by foreign entities, such as Saudi princes or Chinese conglomerates. As a small business owner yourself, you appreciate the importance of investing in your community. If you're interested in the temperature sensor that Jon and some others are using, you can find it here: https://amzn.to/3YA76x7. Additionally, there is another sensor made in the USA that seems promising. Although I haven't tested it yet, I plan to order a few for experimentation: https://amzn.to/3I42pER.
