This week we said goodbye to Alan Greenspan, the man who spent two decades quietly rigging the economy for the wealthy, and encouraged working people to take on debt he knew would blow up in their faces (he would eventually call this a “flaw” ). Then we looked at housing starts, which just posted their worst number since COVID, with multifamily construction down 40% in a single month—because between 6.4% mortgage rates, all-time high home prices, and tariffs jacking up the cost of every material that goes into a build, the math simply doesn’t work.

How would you handle this crappy situation at work?

The Pere Marquette docks in Arcadia, Michigan, once connected a small Lake Michigan village to a much larger world. In this episode of End of the Road in Michigan, we follow the story of the harbor, railroad and steamship network that helped shape Arcadia during the late 1800s and early 1900s.Through rare historic postcards and local history, we examine how the Pere Marquette Railroad, the Arcadia & Betsey River Railway and Great Lakes steamers worked together to move lumber, freight, passengers and manufactured goods through this busy harbor. What began as a lumber town grew into a transportation hub where trains met ships and local products reached markets across the Great Lakes region.You'll learn about Henry Starke's role in building Arcadia, the creation of the channel connecting Bar Lake to Lake Michigan, the rise of the Starke Land & Lumber Company, the devastating 1906 sawmill fire and the town's transition into furniture manufacturing. We also look at the steamers that regularly called at Arcadia's docks and the people whose daily lives revolved around the waterfront.This episode offers a fascinating look at a forgotten chapter of Michigan transportation history and reveals how one small harbor played an important role in the economic growth of Northwest Michigan.If you enjoy stories about Michigan history, Great Lakes shipping, railroads, steamships, lumber towns and vintage postcards, be sure to follow End of the Road in Michigan for more journeys into the state's past.#MichiganHistory #ArcadiaMichigan #PereMarquette #GreatLakesHistory #RailroadHistoryThe End of the Road in Michigan is a production of Thumbwind Publications

Matt Layman returns to The Lumber Word for an in-depth discussion on one of the hottest topics in the lumber industry: the summer lumber rally. With inventories running lean, freight markets tightening, and mills extending order files, the crew explores whether lumber prices still have room to run. The conversation begins with a recap of the Southern Pine hedging seminar hosted by StoneX and Westline Capital, where attendees discussed the future of lumber risk management, liquidity challenges, and why more companies need to gain hands-on experience using futures markets. The group then shifts to the cash lumber market, breaking down strength in SPF, Southern Yellow Pine, Hem-Fir, and Douglas Fir. Matt shares what he's seeing in the Pacific Northwest, while Gregg and Ashley discuss supply constraints, delayed shipments, trucking shortages, and why buying lumber is becoming harder than selling it. They also analyze the latest housing starts data, debate whether demand is stronger than many expect, and discuss how lean inventories throughout the supply chain continue to support higher prices despite widespread economic pessimism. Plus: freight disruptions, rail delays, inventory management, futures trading lessons, Elon Musk, SpaceX, and Ashley's outlook for where lumber prices may be headed through July and beyond. If you're a lumber dealer, wholesaler, manufacturer, builder, trader, or investor looking to stay ahead of the market, this episode is packed with actionable insights. Topics Covered Lumber Market Outlook SPF Lumber Prices Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) Hem-Fir & Douglas Fir Markets Lumber Futures & Hedging Freight & Trucking Costs Rail Service Challenges Housing Starts Analysis Inventory Management Lumber Industry Economics SpaceX & Market Psychology Summer 2026 Lumber Rally Timeline 00:00 – Matt Layman Returns to The Lumber Word 03:00 – Southern Pine Futures, Hedging & Market Participation 07:00 – Risk Management: How Lumber Companies Should Think About Futures 15:00 – Trading Lessons: Winning, Losing & Market Discipline 16:00 – SPF, Hem-Fir & Douglas Fir Break Higher 21:00 – Is Southern Yellow Pine Finally Joining the Rally? 27:00 – Housing Starts: What the Headlines Missed 30:00 – Elon Musk, SpaceX & Economic Optimism 34:00 – Ashley's Bullish Case for Lumber 38:00 – Freight Bottlenecks, Rail Delays & Inventory Shortages 44:00+ – Why Buying Lumber Is Harder Than Selling It Episode Takeaway The lumber market continues to be driven by one simple reality: inventories remain too low while supply struggles to keep up. Despite negative sentiment around housing and the economy, buyers continue to chase wood, mills are extending order files, and freight remains a major constraint. The panel agrees that the path of least resistance for lumber prices remains higher until inventories are rebuilt and supply catches up.   Guest: Matt Layman www.laymansguide.com Matt@laymansguide.com   Advertiser Fastmarkets RISI Tiranth Amarasinghe Product Marketing Manager Tiranth.Amarasinghe@fastmarkets.com www.fastmarkets.com Show Contacts: Gregg Riley: Gregg@sitkainc.com Charles DeLaTorre: cdelatorre@ifpwood.com Matt Beymer: mattbeymer@hamptonlumber.com Ashley Boeckholt: ashley@sitkainc.com  

The housing market in 2026 is defined by contradictions. Demand remains strong, yet affordability challenges persist. Builders continue to innovate, even as uncertainty clouds the economic outlook. Meanwhile, demographic shifts and changing consumer preferences are reshaping what Georgians want from their homes.   In part two of Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio‘s mid-year market update, Jim Jacobi of Parkland Communities, Tim Arnold of D.R. Horton and Cara Lavender of John Burns Research and Consulting (JBREC) join Host Carol Morgan to discuss the forces driving today’s market. From the evolution of build-to-rent communities to construction costs and changing buyer expectations, the panel explored how industry leaders are adapting to a rapidly evolving landscape.  Demographic Shifts Will Shape the Next Decade  While much attention is focused on mortgage rates and affordability, longer-term demographic changes deserve equal consideration. An aging population, later marriages, declining birth rates and multigenerational living are altering housing demand. These shifts could influence everything from home design and community amenities to product mix and location strategies over the next decade.  “I think it’s kind of those changing demographics that are going to change what products we need, what type of housing we need, where we need it,” Lavender said.  Buyers Want More Choice & Better Value  Buyer priorities have evolved significantly since the post-pandemic housing boom. During the height of the market, consumers were eager to purchase almost any available home. Today, buyers are more selective and focused on maximizing value.  “They want to see more options, they want to have more choices,” Arnold said.  Rather than concentrating solely on purchase price, buyers increasingly evaluate value through the lens of square footage, functionality and available floor plans. Builders are responding by offering a wider variety of products within communities and across submarkets.  Affordability Means More Than Home Price  “Affordability is not just the house price,” Jacobi said. “Affordability is everything across the board.”  Emerging mortgage products designed to reduce barriers to homeownership are also helping expand access, including programs featuring zero down payments, no private mortgage insurance and reduced closing costs.  As lenders introduce more creative financing solutions, these tools could help more buyers achieve homeownership despite elevated rates.  Build-to-Rent Communities Continue to Evolve  Build-to-rent communities are entering a new phase of maturity, with developers moving away from one-size-fits-all approaches. Mixed-product developments featuring townhomes, single-family homes and ranch-style offerings designed for aging renters are becoming increasingly common.  Research from JBREC points to the same trend.  “When we look at that delivery pipeline, it’s pretty clear that townhomes and those mixed-product communities are going to be what dominates BTR deliveries in 2027,” Lavender said.  At the same time, renters are prioritizing practical value over luxury amenities. While amenities such as pools and fitness centers remain desirable, residents place greater emphasis on low-maintenance living, responsive management teams and services such as lawn care.  Construction Costs Remain a Daily Challenge  Although slowing housing starts have eased some labor pressures, construction costs continue to fluctuate.  “We work on it every day,” Arnold said. “It just continues to be a shift.”  Lumber pricing, tariffs and petroleum-based products all contribute to ongoing volatility. However, reduced apartment construction has expanded the available labor pool for residential projects. That increased competition among trades may help stabilize pricing moving forward.  Data Centers Create New Competition  Another emerging factor is the rapid growth of data center development. Large-scale investments from companies such as Amazon, Google, Meta and Microsoft could eventually impact residential construction by competing for labor and land.  According to broker surveys conducted by JBREC, approximately one-third of respondents reported seeing residential land transactions redirected toward data center projects. While not yet widespread, it is a trend the industry is watching closely.  The New Reality: Lower Velocity & Greater Uncertainty  Builders and developers have adjusted expectations in response to a more cautious environment. Sales pace, lease-up rates and incentives are increasingly built into underwriting models. Rather than anticipating rapid improvement, many operators are planning for a prolonged period of moderation extending into 2027.  The Grind Before the Next Growth Cycle  The defining characteristic of today’s housing market may ultimately be its complexity. Elevated interest rates, rising costs, shifting regulations and global economic uncertainty have forced builders, developers and researchers to rethink long-held assumptions and adapt in real time.  Rather than waiting for a return to the conditions of the past, industry leaders are learning to operate in an environment where flexibility, discipline and execution matter more than ever. Growth may come more slowly, and success may require a greater willingness to adjust strategies as conditions evolve.  Yet beneath the headlines about affordability challenges and market headwinds, the industry’s core mission remains unchanged. Housing is about more than economics and forecasts. It is about creating places where people build their lives, raise families and invest in their futures. Even amid uncertainty, the enduring value of homeownership continues to provide both purpose and optimism for those shaping the next chapter of the housing market.  Ready to hit rewind on Part 1?

The lumber market may be sending its clearest signal of 2026: supply is shrinking, inventories are lean, and futures are leading the charge higher. In Episode 171, the crew welcomes industry veteran Kip Fotheringham for a deep dive into the forces reshaping North American lumber markets. From tightening SPF supply and Southern Yellow Pine transportation challenges to Canadian curtailments, futures fund short covering, and the surprising resilience of housing demand, the group lays out the bullish case that's beginning to unfold. They debate whether we're in the first inning or the third inning of a larger rally, examine why major funds are potentially abandoning short positions, and discuss how shrinking production capacity could collide with steady demand to create a much tighter market through the summer. The conversation also explores Berkshire Hathaway's investment in homebuilding, multifamily construction strength, pulp mill closures, fiber supply challenges, and the Longview explosion's potential impact on Western sawmill production. If you're a lumber buyer, trader, mill operator, or builder, this episode offers a roadmap to the risks—and opportunities—developing beneath the surface of today's market. Timeline 00:00 – Lumber, Airports & Industry Reach Portland Airport gets a surprising shoutout, and the crew shares a story highlighting how The Lumber Word continues to influence industry conversations. 03:30 – Are We Early in a Bull Market? The panel debates whether the lumber rally is just getting started and what buyers should be doing right now. 07:00 – Transportation Becomes the Story Escalating trucking costs and regional supply constraints are changing how lumber moves across North America. 09:00 – Canada's Supply Problem Gets Real Discussion on curtailments, mill economics, and why North American production continues to shrink. 15:00 – Why This Summer Feels Different The crew explains why inventory positions, contract reductions, and tariff pressures have created an unusual setup. 22:00 – The Longview Explosion & Fiber Fallout A major disruption in the Pacific Northwest raises new questions about residual markets and future sawmill production. 25:00 – Smart Money is Buying Housing Berkshire Hathaway, Japanese investors, and multifamily construction all point toward longer-term confidence in housing demand. 30:00 – Funds Are Covering Shorts Kip breaks down what the futures market is signaling and why short-covering could fuel a larger move higher. 35:00 – What Could Derail the Rally? The group examines the biggest risks to their bullish outlook and what buyers should watch over the next 30 days. 44:00 – Final Take: Bullish Until Proven Otherwise The episode wraps with a discussion on shrinking supply, steady demand, and why the market's biggest surprise may still be ahead.

In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger welcomes back returning guest Mike McGarry of Urban Lumber in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. What started as a one-man pilot project to prove to three levels of government that diseased urban trees could be safely salvaged has grown into what may be one of the largest urban tree recycling and hardwood production operations in the country, processing three to four thousand trees per year with a team of eleven employees. Mike walks through the early days of navigating government roadblocks, building chain of custody tracking, and developing disease mitigation protocols for working with Dutch elm disease wood. He explains how the elm bark beetle carries the fungal spores, why getting the bark off within five days is critical, and how Winnipeg's brutal winters actually work in his favor. The conversation shifts to how Urban Lumber evolved from a sawmill operation selling raw lumber into a fully vertically integrated company. Today, ninety percent of the lumber they produce stays in-house for custom furniture, architectural millwork, boardroom tables, and floating shelves sold online across Canada. Mike talks about the equipment upgrades that made this possible, including a modified Wood-Mizer LT40 extended to handle massive urban logs and an iDry Turbo vacuum kiln that finally solved the challenge of drying American elm without excessive degradation. Jennifer and Mike also dig into the business side: why your next hire should be a dedicated marketing person, how to build a company culture that keeps people around, the economics of smaller bandsaw blades when you're hitting metal every day, and why staying nimble keeps Urban Lumber insulated from market volatility. They close with a candid conversation about the economic climate between Canada and the US, cross-border tariffs on blade prices and shipping, and shifting species trends from maple to walnut to white oak.

We chat about Greg's ear, Laura's pants, then we do a Ask The Buzz about being a rockstar.

This week on The Lumber Word, the crew tackles the biggest issue in lumber today: freight. From Buffalo reloads buried under railcars to Southern Pine mills struggling with transportation costs, the conversation centers on how logistics—not mill prices—are driving the market. The team discusses tightening inventories, shrinking North American supply, species substitution, and why prompt wood may be worth more than ever. Gregg doubles down on his bullish lumber outlook, while the group debates whether SPF is significantly undervalued heading into the second half of 2026. If freight remains tight and supply stays constrained, the market could be setting up for a stronger move than many expect. Timeline 0:00 – Back From the Road – Travel stories, reload visits, and market observations. 2:00 – Buffalo Is Jammed – Railcars are arriving fast and unloading slowly. 5:00 – Chicago Reload Expansion – New capacity could become a major advantage. 7:00 – Freight Is the Story – Higher trucking costs are changing lumber economics. 11:00 – Pine Mills Hit the Brakes – Transportation issues may be limiting production. 15:00 – Contract Pricing Gets Tested – Suppliers are absorbing freight pain. 18:00 – Rail vs. Truck – Why transportation knowledge is becoming a competitive edge. 23:00 – Greg's Bull Case – Less supply, steady demand, and higher prices ahead. 29:00 – Prompt Wood Wins – Inventory ready to ship is commanding a premium. 32:00 – Lean Pipelines Everywhere – Buyers may be more undercovered than they realize. 35:00 – Second Half Setup – The crew sees more reasons for lumber to rise than fall.

Construction costs are rising again, creating a new challenge for the housing market. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down why copper, lumber, diesel, aluminum, and other building material prices are surging in 2026 and what that could mean for home prices, housing affordability, and real estate investors. You'll hear why builders are struggling to price new homes, how higher construction costs could slow housing supply, and why rising replacement costs may actually benefit owners of existing properties. Kathy also explains how these inflationary pressures could keep mortgage rates elevated and what investors should watch when evaluating renovation budgets, development projects, and long-term real estate opportunities.

I'm thinking this guy might need a mirror to solve his problem.

Ask most marketers what's driving demand and you'll get a list of campaigns. When host Zach Williams asked Erin Plummer, CMO of Hancock Lumber, she started somewhere else: customer intimacy and the discipline of deciding what not to do. In this episode she breaks down how a seventh-generation lumber dealer keeps marketing aligned to its mission as it scales, and why saying no is the strategic move she protects most.

This Day in Maine for Tuesday, May 26, 2026.

In Episode 273 of the ShopNotes Podcast, the crew dives into everything happening in the woodworking world — from hand tool events and lumber prices to TV show updates, shop projects, and new tools coming to the market. Logan shares a full recap of his trip to Hand Tool Haven at the Plain Wellness event in Pennsylvania, including tool vendors, demonstrations, silent auction finds, and a few close calls with buying even more hand planes.

Home Depot just told the market it's treading water, and Rick Watson and Jessica Lesesky dig into why the remodeling boom never showed up. People are tapping their home equity to consolidate debt, not rip out the bathroom. Paint and outdoor are fine. Lumber, flooring, mill work? Not so much. So Home Depot is quietly walking away from the consumer and betting the house on pros, HVAC, and a $700 billion market.The Watson Weekly is sponsored by Avalara.

We break down why brands should build the conversation first and let the comment section do the selling.And the one that broke the internet: Everlane sold to Shein for $100 million, down from a $550 to $600 million peak. Common stockholders get nothing. We get into whether Shein actually paid cash for brand equity or just bought itself a respectable-looking front for a not-so-respectable supply chain. Jessica says the quiet part out loud. Rick's head hurts.Plus a quick read on AI maturity from The Lead conference floor, and why the people who are most "AI-pilled" somehow ended up busier than ever.#watsonweekend #homedepot #remodel #tiktok #comments #everlane #shein

This week's Newswire hits different. The crew opens with a heartfelt tribute to Robbins Lumber and the community rallying around them after a devastating fire — a reminder of what really matters in this industry. Then Trent steers the ship (loosely) through lumber pricing that's about as exciting as a flat board, mortgage rates that just hit a nine-month high right as summer heats up, and gas prices that are making everyone reconsider their life choices. Kevin Warsh is officially in the Fed chair seat, and Natalie has opinions. There's also a full Costco tangent, a Taco Bell social commentary detour, and somewhere in there dead-face Gen Z, and what jobs will even exist in five years.

In this episode of Oregon State University Extension's In the Woods podcast, host Jacob Putney talks with wood products extension specialist Scott Leavengood about a new lumber grading training program created in response to Oregon Senate Bill 1061 (the Oregon Forest to Homes Act). The program will certify small-scale sawmill operators to visually grade their own lumber for use in Oregon building construction under a limited, direct chain of custody, without applying grade stamps. The one-day trainings will teach simplified, conservative grading rules for key Oregon softwood species and include a hands-on test; certification is valid for five years. Use is limited to lumber sold directly to homeowners/builders for one- and two-family detached dwellings, with documentation provided for building inspectors. Initial sessions are planned for October in La Grande and Roseburg, with registration via the Oregon Wood Innovation Center website. 

We got two for you today, Best Man Games, Whatever. Enjoy.

This week Natalie and Trent are back with your Friday fix — and honestly, the market is giving them very little to work with. Lumber prices? Barely moved. Mortgage rates? Blinked down a hair. Applications? A polite nudge upward. But don't let the flatline fool you — there's plenty to dig into: two different "Builder Supply Companies" got acquired in the same week (yes, really), Interfor's Q1 numbers just dropped, the softwood lumber duty saga hits a new anniversary milestone (send help), and the R&R market is looking like the only real bright spot in housing. Natalie also just returned from the Oregon Women in Lumber Summit with two thumbs up and some thoughts on energy management that hit differently when you're in this industry. Trent, meanwhile, is grappling with gray hair and the school schedule gods.

This week on The Lumber Word, Ashley, Gregg, Matt, and Charles break down one of the more confusing lumber markets in recent memory. Despite fears coming out of Montréal, buyers haven't really changed behavior, trucking is slowly improving, and distributors are still moving wood. The crew dives deep into the widening divide between Southern Pine and Western species, shrinking production, freight chaos, inventory strategy, and whether the market is quietly building the foundation for higher prices later this summer. The big question: are we in equilibrium… or on the verge of another squeeze?

Just drop off the boxes to his new place and move on, what would you do?

Yup- Blind Hog and Acorn took the stock trailer to Menard's to get treated lumber for the fencing project, the greenhouse and a french drain.  Holy moley!  Good thing prices were checked online first, or there would have been even more grumbling!Nasturtium baskets are up, orioles and grosbeaks at the feeders, four pair of martins in the gourds.All four of the goslings have gone to their new homes- Acorn was saved from raising a pair of males thanks to a last minute reply from a person on the waiting list.  Yay!

This week's episode breaks down a confusing lumber market where price prints don't reflect reality. Southern Pine appears to be selling off, but much of the move is driven by rising and volatile freight costs rather than true demand weakness. Inventory remains tight in many regions, while buyers hesitate due to bearish sentiment and futures discounts. Meanwhile, multifamily construction continues to support demand, even as overall housing trends flatten. The result is a fragmented, regional “island market” where logistics—not supply—are dictating price. Timeline (Condensed) 0:00 – Market Setup: Weak tone on paper, post-Montreal reset 2:00 – Pine Selloff = Freight Story: Prices down, driven by trucking costs 5:00 – Cash vs Futures Disconnect: Strong Western pricing vs discounted board 10:00 – Supply Constraints: Euro down, Canada tight, limited new supply 15:00 – Housing Demand: Flat overall, multifamily supporting pine 20:00 – Fragmented Market: Regional “islands,” no easy arbitrage 25:00 – Relative Value Trades: 2x6 vs 2x4 spread, board looks cheap 30:00 – Buyer Behavior Shift: Late buying driving higher freight 35:00 – Key Takeaway Trades: Futures and select items show opportunity   Advertiser Fastmarkets RISI Dustin Jalbert Senior Economist Wood Products djalbert@fastmarkets.com www.fastmarkets.com Show Contacts: Gregg Riley: Gregg@sitkainc.com Charles DeLaTorre: cdelatorre@ifpwood.com Matt Beymer: mattbeymer@hamptonlumber.com Ashley Boeckholt: ashley@sitkainc.com  

In this episode, Molly Butz is joined by Justin Binning and Jeff Hoggard with American International Forest Products (AIFP) who provide a snapshot of the current lumber market. The market is navigating a complex mix of pressures, with producers leaning on creative deals to stay competitive. At the same time, concerns over a severe wildfire season and strained trucking capacity, driven in part by rising fuel costs, are adding uncertainty to an already tight supply chain. Justin has been with AIFP since 2010 with a focus in Southern Yellow Pine and Jeff has been with AIFP since 2012 with a focus on green and dry Doug fir, MSR and European lumber. Both specialize in high grade lumber for the component manufacturing industry.

Episode 242 features Amy Smiley, Vice President of Marketing at 84 Lumber, who has been helping shape one of the country's most recognized building brands since 2016. In this conversation, Amy breaks down what it really takes to lead a full-scale marketing operation, from creative direction and media strategy to PR, events, and digital execution. She shares how 84 Lumber stays relevant in a competitive, ever-evolving industry while maintaining a strong, consistent brand voice. Beyond marketing, Amy also dives into the company's philanthropic efforts and how purpose-driven initiatives are making a nationwide impact, with millions donated each year. This episode is packed with insight on leadership, brand building, and creating meaningful connections that go far beyond the sale.

Todays letter is about a couple, one of them has started working out and eating better, the other one not so much, and hates being called out for not being part of the diet.

Lumber prices are holding at $5.23 but don't get too comfortable — 2x4 #2 is getting scarce and construction input costs are up nearly 5% year over year, with crude petroleum doing the most damage (Natalie's paying $148 to fill her diesel tank, which is its own kind of tragedy). The Montreal Wood Convention drew a big crowd with Canada-US tariffs as the unofficial theme, Mirax is firing up the former Errington Cedar sawmill in a rare piece of good news for the Pacific Northwest, and Goodfellow posted a Q1 net loss blaming a cold winter and high household debt. It was also a banner week for COOs — three promotions, one truly excellent headshot. Chelsea closes with a genuine ask for the North American Forest Foundation, which has 1,300 schools on a waitlist for lumber education kits and needs the industry to show up. Mortgage rates dipped to 6.3%, dopamine detoxes are being planned, and a Tesla met a tree on a country road. Standard Friday.

AI is already changing construction. The real question is whether your company is keeping up or quietly falling behind. In this episode of Bridging the Gap, Todd Weyandt sits down with Shel Waggener, Chief Customer Officer at Lumber and former construction company president, to break down what AI adoption actually looks like inside a contractor's business today. This is not a future-focused conversation. It is a practical look at how AI is already showing up in the back office, in the field, and across workforce management. Shel shares why AI cannot be treated like just another tool, how “agentic AI” is eliminating administrative work, and what it really takes to build AI into your operations as a core capability. The biggest shift is not technology. It is mindset. Contractors must move from doing the work to orchestrating it. If you are not actively building AI into your workflows, your competitors will. You'll Learn Why AI in construction is happening faster than most leaders realize What “agentic AI” actually means in real workflows The most practical back office use cases you can deploy today How field data, computer vision, and site capture reduce rework Why AI should be treated as a workforce multiplier, not a threat How to create feedback loops to scale AI across your company Meet Our Guest Shel Waggener is the Chief Customer Officer at Lumber, where he helps construction companies reimagine their back offices for the AI era. A former President of American Asphalt, Shel brings real operator experience to the conversation, combining deep knowledge of construction workflows with expertise in cloud, automation, and enterprise systems. His work focuses on helping contractors adopt practical AI solutions that drive efficiency, accuracy, and growth. Todd Takes Innovation requires pushing past the industry's natural resistance to change AI success depends on exposing and scaling ideas across your teams The future belongs to contractors who think like conductors, not just doers More Resources Thanks for listening!
