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?

This week on The Bend Show from the “house burping” home trend to dumb outdoor criminal stories and how winter weather can trigger migraines. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Home Trends, Outdoor Headlines & Health Impacts of Winter Weather House Burping: Why Some Homeowners Are Opening Windows in Winter Even as winter temperatures plunge, a growing number of homeowners are opening their windows on purpose — a trend known as “house burping.” The idea comes from a long-standing German practice called lüften, which simply means airing out your home to improve indoor air quality. Air quality experts say it can actually be healthy. Letting in fresh air helps reduce moisture, mold, carbon dioxide, and indoor pollutants — especially important since Americans spend about 90 percent of their time indoors. In Germany, lüften is so common that some rental agreements even require tenants to open windows regularly. The practice has gone viral in the U.S., with social media users sharing routines like airing out the house first thing in the morning, after cooking or showering, or after guests leave. There are downsides, though. Critics say opening windows in winter can hurt energy efficiency and drive up heating costs. Experts recommend keeping it short — about ten minutes is all it takes. So while it may feel counterintuitive, a quick blast of cold air could help keep your home healthier — just don't leave those windows open too long. Reference: https://www.today.com/life/what-is-house-burping-benefits-rcna255170 Outdoors Hunting & Fishing Dumb Crimes According to Outdoor Life, A former Alaskan guide with a long history of wildlife violations has once again been found guilty—this time for crimes tied to his commercial fishing business. Fifty-one-year-old Michael Patrick Duby of Juneau was convicted by a jury on January 15 of multiple charges, including falsifying commercial fishing records, selling fish taken for personal use, fishing out of season, and harvesting clams without a permit. Duby's record of fish and game violations stretches back more than 20 years. In 2012, he received one of Alaska's harshest sentences for wildlife crimes after a federal investigation found he illegally killed and sold protected birds. That case, along with other state offenses, cost him his hunting and sport fishing privileges, landed him in prison, and resulted in tens of thousands of dollars in fines. After losing those privileges, Duby shifted into commercial fishing, saying it was still his passion. But prosecutors say the pattern continued. His most recent convictions stem from actions in 2019 and 2020 while operating Genesis Seafoods, including felony charges for falsifying harvest records and reckless endangerment for selling untested clams. State prosecutors have described Duby as someone unable to stop breaking fish and game laws. His wife, who was charged as an accomplice and is a state fish and game operations manager, was acquitted. Patrick Duby represented himself at trial and is scheduled to be sentenced in May.

In the early morning hours of December 31, surveillance video shows the suspects sawing a life-sized bronze bighorn sheep statue off its concrete base using a battery-powered saw. After tipping the heavy statue over, the pair struggled to load it into the backseat of what appears to be a Chrysler 300. When that didn't work, they left the scene, returned about 15 minutes later with a luggage cart, and wheeled the statue away. Police believe the bronze ram was later cut into smaller pieces so it could be transported and likely sold for scrap. The statue, nicknamed “Rocky,” had been installed outside Kuiu's headquarters just months earlier, in June of 2024. Bronze scrap currently sells for only a few dollars per pound, but thefts of bronze artwork are reportedly on the rise. Kuiu has released the surveillance footage and is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. The case is being handled by the Dixon Police Department, and the company says the response online has been immediate and overwhelming. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/thieves-steal-kuiu-sheep-statute/ Missouri Offers $15,000 Reward in Bull Elk Poaching Case Missouri conservation officials are asking for the public's help after a bull elk was illegally shot and killed at Peck Ranch Conservation Area in southern Missouri. The Missouri Department of Conservation is offering a fifteen-thousand-dollar reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. The adult bull elk was discovered the morning of November 26, 2025, lying dead in an open field with a gunshot wound to the left shoulder. Investigators say evidence at the scene shows the shooter drove a vehicle directly into the field toward the elk, then circled back onto a gravel trail and left the area at a high rate of speed. Tire tracks entering and exiting the field were clearly visible. Photos submitted by members of the public helped narrow down the timeline. One photo shows the elk alive and grazing around 5:15 the evening before. Another photo taken just after 8:00 the next morning shows the animal dead in the same field. The case is being handled through Missouri's Operation Game Thief program, which emphasizes that poaching hurts wildlife conservation efforts and the hunters who follow the law. Anyone with information is urged to call 800-392-1111. Tips can be made anonymously, and conservation officials say even small details could help bring the person responsible to justice.

According to a Cleveland Clinic headache specialist, sudden shifts in barometric pressure can create pressure changes in the sinuses, which may set off migraines in people who are already prone to them. Extreme cold can also be a factor. For those sensitive to winter temperatures, simply being out in frigid air can increase the chances of a migraine starting. There are steps you can take to help prevent winter-related migraines. On very cold days, staying indoors when possible can help. If you do head outside, bundle up — especially covering your head and neck to limit cold exposure. Doctors also recommend keeping migraine medications with you, so you can treat symptoms early. Beyond the weather, lifestyle habits matter. Getting enough sleep, staying active, managing stress, and addressing anxiety or depression can all play a role in reducing migraine frequency. And if migraines start interfering with daily life, Cleveland Clinic experts say it's time to talk with your doctor, who can help find the right treatment plan to better manage symptoms through the winter months.

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?

Concrete Is Losing on Cost. Here's How to Take It Back.Concrete keeps getting priced out of jobs, not because it can't compete, but because we keep doing the same things the same way. In this episode, Seth Tandett sits down with Rich Szecsy to talk about where concrete costs actually come from and why material price increases are only part of the story. They walk through how specs, local codes, labor assumptions, and risk avoidance quietly stack the deck against concrete, even when it's the better material. This isn't a theoretical discussion. It's a practical look at what contractors, engineers, and producers can question, change, and push back on if they actually want concrete to stay competitive. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN· Why concrete keeps losing bids to steel and other materials· How self-compacting concrete can cut labor without cutting performance· Where specifications quietly drive cost more than material prices· How local codes create massive cost disparities for the same building· Why fear of sharing ideas slows innovation across the industry· How small, incremental changes can unlock real savings· Why understanding the full contractual chain matters more than mix price· What questions teams should be asking earlier to avoid cost traps CHAPTERS00:00 – Intro and how to support the Concrete Logic Podcast02:36 – Why concrete is struggling to compete on cost05:32 – Self-compacting concrete and labor reduction08:18 – How specifications quietly drive cost10:55 – Engineering challenges baked into specs13:44 – Local codes and why the same building costs more in different cities16:31 – The industry's fear of sharing ideas18:58 – Incremental changes that actually move the needle21:32 – Local regulations and hidden cost multipliers23:56 – Asking better questions earlier GUEST INFORich SzecsyBio: https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com/guests/rich-szecsy/ CONCRETE LOGIC PARTNERSINTELLIGENT CONCRETEConcrete not behaving the way it should?At Intelligent Concrete, Dr. Jon Belkowitz and his team combine lab-level testing with real-world field experience to get to the root of performance issues, not just the symptoms.https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com/intelligent-concrete CONCRETE LOGIC ACADEMYEarn PDHs in the same straight-talk format as the podcast:https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com/academySUPPORT THE PODCASTDid you get value out of the show?

Most concrete looks the way it does for one simple reason.We keep designing around the forms we know how to build.In this episode, Seth sits down with Darren Baldwin, President of PIKUS, to break down the real difference between analog formwork and digital formwork—and why that distinction quietly limits what architects, engineers, and contractors think is even possible with concrete.This is not a hype-filled “3D printing is the future” conversation. It's a practical discussion about where digital formwork actually works, where it absolutely doesn't, and why architectural concrete—not structure—is where this technology earns its keep. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • What “analog vs. digital formwork” really means in construction terms • When digital formwork beats precast on cost, logistics, and constructability • How curves, grade changes, and non-repeatable geometry break traditional forms • Why lack of data (and testing) still blocks structural adoption • Why architects keep designing square stuff when they don't have to CHAPTERS 00:00 – Intro and how to support the Concrete Logic Podcast 02:30 – Analog vs. digital formwork explained 04:10 – Is this just 3D concrete printing? 05:40 – When digital formwork makes economic sense 07:10 – Grade changes, curves, and non-repeatable geometry 09:20 – Testing, engineering, and the structural data gap 14:40 – Remodels, access constraints, and why lightweight matters 16:05 – Leave-in-place printed formwork (and why it's not the focus) 19:30 – Digital concrete + millwork integration 21:20 – How to reach Darren / PIKUS GUEST INFO Darren Baldwin PIKUS https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com/guests/darren-baldwin/ INTELLIGENT CONCRETE Concrete not behaving the way it should?

Most people believe the chart on the screen — Dr. Jon explains why you shouldn't. If you've ever sat in a conference session staring at a chart and wondering whether you're seeing real data or a dressed-up story, this episode is for you. Dr. Jon Belkowitz breaks down how data in the concrete industry is often stretched, normalized, cherry-picked, or misleading — and how to spot it before making decisions that affect a structure's performance. We get into why people present data, what questions you should ask before trusting it, what error bars mean, and when it's time to ask tougher questions. This conversation also touches on motivations, funding sources, normalized datasets, Purdue-Pharma-style chart tricks, and why peer review still matters. What You'll Learn Why is data really presented in this industry — truth, persuasion, or something in between? How charts can hide peaks or exaggerate trends What error bars actually mean and why they matter When to question normalized or percentage-based data Signs that a dataset should be tossed out completely How to read peer-reviewed papers quickly without wasting time Why checking funding sources matters Why asking questions doesn't make you “anti” anything Chapters 00:00 – Why We're Talking About Data 01:00 – What Motivates People to Present Data 04:00 – The Role of Data in Confidence and Decision-Making 07:30 – Normalized Data and How It Can Mislead 12:00 – Purdue-Pharma-Style Chart Tricks 15:30 – What Error Bars Actually Tell You 21:00 – When to Question What You're Being Shown 25:30 – Reading Research Papers Without Wasting Time 30:00 – Motivation, Funding, and Hidden Bias 34:00 – Final Thoughts Guest Info Name: Dr. Jon Belkowitz Company: Intelligent Concrete Email: jon@intelligent-concrete.com Website: www.intelligent-concrete.com Concrete Logic Academy Earn PDHs in the same straight-talk format as the podcast: https://www.concretelogicacademy.com Support the Podcast Support the show: https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com/donate KUIU helps support the podcast: https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com/kuiu Media, sponsorship, or content inquiries: seth@concretelogicpodcast.com Credits Producer: Douglas H.

Mass timber is often promoted as faster, cheaper, and greener—but does it really hold up against concrete? In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, we examine where timber actually competes, where it falls short, and what owners and engineers need to know before choosing it over concrete. From speed and aesthetics to fire ratings, insurance, and durability, this conversation exposes the tradeoffs that get lost in the marketing.What You'll Learn- What exactly qualifies as mass timber, and why is CLT the dominant product?- Can timber's speed of construction outweigh prefabrication challenges?- Why do acoustics and fire safety force timber to rely on concrete toppings?- How do insurance and durability concerns stack up against concrete?- Are sustainability claims for timber real—or just another sales pitch?- Where does concrete still deliver advantages timber can't match?Chapters00:00 – Introduction to Mass Timber and Concrete04:38 – Understanding Mass Timber Products09:00 – Advantages of Mass Timber in Construction13:40 – Design Considerations and Aesthetics18:22 – Durability, Maintenance, and Sustainability22:48 – Cost, Insurance, and Market TrendsGuest InfoName: Garrett BraunEmail: gbraun@blueneststructural.comWebsite: https://www.blueneststructural.com/Company: Blue Nest StructuralConcrete Logic AcademyEarn PDHs the easy way.

Last minute hunt opportunities: Archery mule deer in AB OCt 12th Late season goat in BC Oct 20 Any weapon mule deer in BC Nov 23 email - jay@mindfulhunter.com Finding the perfect early-season base layer has always been a challenge—too thick, too thin, too stiff, or not stretchy enough. But could the Kuiu Tiburon Hybrid Hoodie finally be the answer? In this video, I put Kuiu's innovative design to the test during real-world field use. Discover why this hoodie stands out, how it performs in varying conditions, and if it's the best base layer for early-season hunting and outdoor adventures.
What if sunlight alone—not heat—was silently destroying your concrete? In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, Seth Tandett and Bob Higgins uncover a groundbreaking MIT study that reveals evaporation can be driven by light, not just temperature. This discovery doesn't just change climate models—it could explain why concrete in the field fails in ways labs never predict. From sublimation and surface chemistry to curing practices and accountability, this episode forces the industry to face a missing piece of science hiding in plain sight. What You'll Learn - Can light alone drive evaporation—and what does that mean for concrete curing? - Why does cold-weather curing produce more durable concrete? - Is sublimation the hidden culprit behind freeze–thaw damage? - How does surface relative humidity affect cement formation efficiency? - Why do laboratory tests keep producing results that don't match the field? - Could pigmented curing compounds or internal curing be the next solution? - Are installers being unfairly blamed for failures tied to ignored science? Chapters 00:00 – Introduction: Concrete Climate and Missing Science 01:44 – MIT's Light-Driven Evaporation Discovery 05:41 – Why This Matters for Concrete Durability 11:35 – Relative Humidity and Cement Formation 17:24 – Sunlight, Chemistry, and Curing Practices 23:13 – Future Directions and Industry Accountability Guest Info Name: Bob Higgins Email: rcconsulting.higgins@gmail.com Webpage: https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com/guests/robert-higgins/ Company: Independent Concrete Consultant Concrete Logic Academy Looking for practical, real-world education in concrete?

Back in 2011, the industry said portland-limestone cement (PLC) came with “no significant risks.” By 2024, the updated report admits higher carbonation rates, chloride ingress concerns, admixture sensitivity, and tighter curing demands. In this solo episode, Seth lays out what actually changed between the 2011 and 2024 reports, what the case studies do—and don't—prove, and asks the blunt question: would PLC be this widespread without the CO₂ storyline? What You'll Learn - What the 2011 report promised vs. what the 2024 report now admits. - How carbonation, chloride ingress, admixture control, and curing show up in the latest findings. - What the project examples (PCA exposure site, Utah DOT bridges, Texas pavements, European jobs) really say. - Claimed upsides beyond CO₂: energy savings, workability, and mass concrete heat benefits. - Why PLC is less forgiving than Type I/II—and what that means on real jobs. - The big question: is PLC an innovation or a policy-driven shift? Chapters 00:00 – Welcome, solo setup, and callback to EP #126 00:30 – Why revisit PLC? ACA's comment and the 2024 report 02:00 – Blended cement usage spike: under 10% to ~65% in a few years 03:00 – 2011 → 2024: from “no risk” to “manageable issues” 05:00 – Admixtures/air, SCMs, and curing: where sensitivity shows up 07:00 – Positives claimed beyond CO₂: energy, workability, mass concrete 08:30 – What case studies actually show (PCA prisms, Utah bridges, Texas pavements, Europe) 12:00 – PLC is less forgiving: tighter margins than Type I/II 13:30 – What's still missing: long-term (50–100 yr) performance proof 15:30 – Would PLC exist without the CO₂ narrative? 16:30 – Support the show + open invite for guests 17:30 – Outro Concrete Logic Academy Want to go further?

Send us a textEpisode 57 is the story from the guide's perspective of the second year OMM Outfitters has had the privilege of hosting another hunt through Three Rangers Foundation and supported by KUIU and other supporters for a gold star family member. This year the hunter in camp was a current active-duty Army Ranger named Mike Blanchard. This story is incredible and was guided my none other than OMM Guide and purple heart veteran Rob Fickett. Rob shares an in depth day by day recount of the epic hunt- lets just say Rob definitely had the "hot hand" this year and we are so thrilled with the experience Mike was able to have in the woods in northern Maine this year.
The late archery season can be a great time to tag a mature whitetail buck — if you have the right conditions and know how to approach the hunt. KUIU's Micah Sirek and Thomas Krick join us to discuss the keys to late-season success and also highlight KUIU's new Super Down Haven line of cold-weather hunting apparel.
Mike and David sat back, discussing the early archery season and how it all unfolded for them. They shared their highlights, from the excitement of spotting Elk to the lessons learned from missed opportunities. Each moment brought back memories of camaraderie and anticipation, as they reflected on what made the season special. Their conversation flowed naturally, filled with laughter and insights, leaving them eager for the next season.https://www.tuogear.com/ use code: FF-GRB2MSUY for 25% offhttps://www.phelpsgamecalls.com/ use code: ridgeline10 for 10% off https://www.crazyelkcompany.com/ use code: ridgeline20 for 20% offhttps://ghostscream.com/ use code: ghost20 for 20% offhttps://www.theduckcamp.net/ Book your waterfowl hunts now tell them Ridgeline Hunting sent you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ridgeline-hunting-podcast--5476683/support.
Episode 44 is a very special episode about giving thanks to our armed service members and their families. For 2023 OMM Outfitters was blessed with the opportunity to guide a gold-star veteran sponsored hunt that was supported by the Three Rangers Foundation and KUIU. In addition, several other corporate sponsors including GA Precision, Swarovski, Eagle Lake Sporting Camps, Eagle Lake Wild Game Processing and many others stepped in to provide the support necessary to conduct this hunt. Army Ranger Veteran Chris Vogeler's brother Lance (a fellow Army Ranger himself) sadly lost his life in 2010 during combat overseas. While Lance's ultimate sacrifice and the sacrifice still to this day by this family can never be replaced or given the thanks it deserves; everyone involved was grateful to have the opportunity to give back to a truly deserving patriot who's family has given so much to defend our freedoms here in the USA. Tune in as host Chris Richards, OMM Owner/Founder & guide of this hunt Nathan Theriault, Senior Director of Guide- Oufitter-Military & First Responder Programs at KUIU Justin Schaffer and the successful hunter himself Gold Star Army Ranger Chris Vogeler sit down to discuss how this hunt came together and the incredible story that led to the harvest of one of the true OMM Legendary Bulls- THE CROSS BULL.
