Brad DeHays — Founder and CEO of Connect Real Estate and Connect Housing Blocks.Brad's journey spans from buying small distressed properties while still in college to leading one of the most ambitious housing manufacturing platforms in the country. Through Connect Real Estate, Brad has revitalized some of Ohio's most overlooked landmarks — transforming abandoned power plants, trolley barns, and historic buildings into vibrant new community anchors.That same entrepreneurial vision inspired him to launch Connect Housing Blocks (CHB), a 630,000-square-foot modular housing facility anchored in Ohio, now one of the largest modular housing factories in the world. Using state-of-the-art equipment and prefabrication methods, CHB produces high-quality apartments from start to finish, eliminating nearly all measuring, cutting, and heavy lifting—the result: faster, more consistent, and more affordable housing production at scale.In our conversation, which took place on site at CHB, Brad shares how he's navigated multiple chapters of starting and scaling Connect, the founding insight that drove him to take on industrial-scale modular housing, how he engages communities and leverages public–private partnerships, his unique approach to talent and culture, and his vision for solving the housing crisis by massively scaling up production capability.00:00:00 - The Birth of an Innovative Solution00:04:50 - Understanding the Housing Crisis00:09:56 - Reinventing Construction Processes00:15:59 - Scaling Modular Housing Production00:21:55 - Transforming the Construction Timeline00:32:46 - Vision for the Future of Housing00:36:43 - Scaling Modular Construction: A Game Changer00:42:34 - The Future of Modular Housing: Opportunities and Challenges00:47:17 - Design and Aesthetics in Modular Construction00:52:56 - Labor Challenges in the Construction Industry00:56:16 - Cultural Dynamics and Employee Empowerment01:01:05 - Looking Ahead: Growth and Future Prospects-----LINKS:https://connecthousingblocks.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/braddehays/-----SPONSOR:Roundstone InsuranceRoundstone Insurance is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.

Welcome back to another episode of the Couple Casuals Podcast!In this episode, Stefano sits down once again with Mario (4TheNorth) — one of Canada's most influential political commentators — for a wide-ranging, no-nonsense conversation about where the country is heading and why so many Canadians feel left behind.Mario breaks down how Canada reached this moment: unchecked government spending, distorted economic data, unsustainable immigration levels, and a political system that increasingly avoids accountability. From youth unemployment and part-time job manipulation, to food bank usage hitting record highs, he explains why the official narrative no longer matches everyday reality.In this conversation, Stefano and Mario dig into:• why Canadians across all backgrounds feel “cheated” by the system• how immigration policy is straining housing, healthcare, and wages• why economic “job growth” isn't what it appears to be• how government spending is being reclassified to mask massive deficits• why political trust is collapsing — and why independent voices are growing• Mark Carney's leadership, continuity from Trudeau, and what may come nextMario also explains why he has no interest in becoming a politician, despite massive influence — and why speaking freely outside the system may be more powerful than holding office inside it.This episode is candid, fact-driven, and grounded in lived reality — a must-watch for anyone trying to understand Canadian politics beyond headlines and spin.Grab a casual, lock in, and let's get into it.Host: Stefano (stefo)Instagram: @drstefohttps://www.instagram.com/drstefo?igs...Guest: Mario Zelaya Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mario4thenorth?igsh=MXc2YTNlNmRta2N2NA==TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@officialmariozelaya?_r=1&_t=ZS-92JJpiCu5siX: https://x.com/mario4thenorth?s=21&t=Cgz_58zASW84g-pj2PUNtwThis episode is brought to you by Canada First — secure your home with Canada's best home fortification.

Aleks Gampel is COO and Co-founder at Cuby, a company rethinking how homes are built in the middle of a nationwide housing crisis. The cost of housing has soared while construction productivity has barely budged in decades, and today's homes are still built through slow, wasteful, and carbon-intensive processes that aren't designed for escalating climate risks. Instead of shipping prefab boxes across the country, Cuby asks what it would look like if housing finally had its assembly line moment—and the factory moved to where homes are needed. Their mobile microfactories are inflatable, rapidly deployable facilities that manufacture standardized home components on or near the job site using mostly unskilled labor, then assemble houses in a predictable, repeatable way. In this conversation, Aleks unpacks the roots of the housing shortage, why past modular attempts fell short, and how Cuby's model could change what's possible for housing affordability, waste reduction, and resilience.Episode recorded on Nov 20, 2025 (Published on Dec 16, 2025)In this episode, we cover: [4:40] Causes for the housing crisis today  [8:17] Emissions associated with housing and how Cuby differs[12:54] An overview of  industrialized construction [16:43] Main challenges with industrialized construction[19:25] Cuby's antithesis to centralized gigafactories in construction[27:08] How Cuby's inflatable mobile microfactory works[30:17] Cuby's European headquarters and China facility [31:57] Cuby's single-family home design [33:30] The company's business model[37:52] Why Cuby isn't displacing jobs [38:55] The company's funding to date [40:15] What's next for Cuby Enjoyed this episode?

Double Tap Episode 440 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Mitchell Defense, Night Fision, Second Call Defense, Rost Martin, and Swampfox Optics   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 440! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Text Dear WLS or Reviews. +1 743 500 2171 - Dear WLS Operative Enthalpy - Dear WLSWhat are your thoughts on a tunable gas block, like the one from Odin Works, versus a standard gas block, or an adjustable gas block. Is it a solution looking for a problem that should be solved by having a proper gas port size in your barrel, or is it a somewhat valuable option for tuning a range or hunting gun to function smoothly for general operating conditions.Operative Enthalpy Anonymous Coward from GA - Do you think the top part of a mermaid also tastes like fish or that it would actually be red meat? Would there be a solid line where the meat changes in their body or would it kind of blend? Could you make a surf and turf platter with one carcass? Fisher Cat - Hey guys, was thinking of getting a shotgun. In your opinion should I get a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500? Both of them are at my LGS for $400 and I'm torn between which would be better for home defense and hunting. Also, would a shotgun be a good weapon to have in an event where society collapses? Thanks keep up the good fight #ssb#ShootStraight Gaston Glock - Is the aftermarket beaver tail for Glocks to adjust the grip angle to be more like a 1911 a gimmick or would it actually be something to consider if you like how a 1911 feels in your hand. Zac C - Hey guys, just wanted to give an update on what I went with for my son's first real gun for his 13th birthday. Went with the ruger American gen 2 .243 20” barrel partly because of the removable LOP on the stock, then when he's bigger he can still use it as a full size gun. Added an sig buckmaster 3x9 that my brother got him paired with some leupold rings. Thanks for the opinions that I might hear before his next birthday. Shute str8 notes in 90-120 business days Scott G - I noticed we don't talk about Brownells anymore. Are they no longer a sponsor? Matt A - 2 questions…I have a comp'd g43x and am thinking about changing out the guide rod and spring to a lighter weight than the 17# oem spring. Is the a difference or an advantage in using a single spring guide rod set vs dual spring sets? Ammo used is defensive 124 gr jhp. In regards to ammo, what's the benefit to using +p ammo in a comp'd handgun and will the extra pressure negate what the compensator is supposed to do?Thanks and love the show.   Chris M - How much does the Gideon Guardeon 1-8x FFP scope weigh? My deer getter, a 16"" .450 bush hamster AR, with a 19oz Dead Air Primal is already getting kind of heavy. I have a swampfox trihawk on it now, and while it's nice, it's also a pound and if I could get more zooms for the same weight, I want to go back to an LPVO The winner of this week's swag pack is Zac C!

In this episode, eco & Tyler welcome back Skot who was at the African Bitcoin Conference, this year hosted in Mauritius, where he spoke on open-source Bitcoin mining. We swap travel tales (including Scott's chaotic Paris layover) and impressions of Mauritius, the conference venue, and side events focused on Bitcoin education. We dig into mining headlines: Bitdeer's missed ASIC roadmap and investor lawsuit, Bitmain's history (Antbleed) and why open-source mining matters, and MicroBT's M70-series lineup pushing industrial-scale, three-phase miners. Skot explains the theory behind Bitdeer's hyped “adiabatic charge recovery logic,” why it's hard to scale, and how thermal and power density realities define miner design. We go deep on open hardware and firmware progress: Braiins' open control board, Secure Boot obstacles, and Mujina's modular path to safe, customizable, dev-fee-free mining; plus Skot's BitCrain control board concept for USB‑controlled fleets. We share shop-floor lessons building AddIt boards and Ember One prototypes (solder paste, tombstoning, reflow profiles) and celebrate practical innovation like Gridless's open-source JuaKali direct-DC solar mining kit. On home-mining UX, Tyler demos new Home Assistant integrations for Canaan Avalons and WhatsMiner, and we preview Hydra Pool deployments (Grafana/Prometheus dashboards) for the upcoming Telehash. Finally, we update the community on the Samourai Wallet case: Keonne's facility designation, the continuing push for a presidential pardon, and how to support via petition and donations. #PardonSamourai.

What happens when a modular construction company leads with people first? Jon Scott of Creative Modular Construction joins the show to share how their motto—“We build people. We build buildings.”—is more than a slogan; it's the engine behind their remarkable growth. Jon walks through how CMC develops leaders on the shop floor, supports individuals from all backgrounds, and creates a culture where trust, purpose, and personal transformation translate directly into performance. We also discuss how CMC's people-first mindset has made it easier to adopt new processes and technologies (like Strucsoft) as they scale, blending craftsmanship, innovation, and culture into a resilient modular workflow. You'll Learn: How CMC builds a people-first culture that drives productivity and retention • Why investing in personal growth leads to stronger teams and better outcomes • How trust and purpose accelerate technology adoption and process improvements • What culture-building looks like in a fast-paced modular fabrication environment • How CMC is evolving its workflows as it scales its modular operations A powerful episode for anyone interested in modular construction, leadership development, or building high-performing teams through culture. MEET OUR GUEST Jonathan Scott serves as the Lead Draftsman at Creative Modular Construction, where he oversees the design and drafting behind a wide range of modular building projects. With a deep understanding of construction, engineering coordination, and practical field needs, Jonathan is the bridge between imagination and execution—translating concepts into clear, buildable plans that crews can trust. He's passionate about improving processes, solving complex layout challenges, and helping push the modular industry forward through smarter design. Outside of work, Jonathan enjoys life with his family and doing outreach in his community, and brings a grounded, faith-driven perspective to both his personal and professional life. TODD TAKES Building People Builds Performance CMC's commitment to “building people” isn't just a cultural slogan—it's a strategic advantage. When you invest in purpose, stability, and real community, people show up differently. They're engaged, they grow, and the work improves. Culture isn't an add-on for them; it's the engine behind everything they do. Trust Is the Foundation of Tech Adoption Introducing new tools like Strucsoft can be uncomfortable, but CMC's people leaned in because they trust the leadership guiding those decisions. That trust removes friction and accelerates adoption. When your team believes you're making choices that truly help them, change becomes something they embrace—not resist. When Purpose Meets Technology, Growth Takes Off The jump from producing two buildings in three days to three buildings in a single day is incredible. It's what happens when a clear mission, a supportive culture, and the right digital tools align. CMC shows that innovation isn't just about software—it's about creating a system where people and technology elevate each other.   More Resources  Thanks for listening!

Flow chemistry and modular continuous platforms are gaining momentum as pharma searches for faster, more flexible, and more sustainable ways to develop and scale small-molecule processes. Yet questions around integration, scale-up, and regulatory expectations continue to influence how quickly these technologies can be fully adopted. In this episode of Off Script, we spoke with Hovione's Christoph Brücher and Microinnova's Dirk Kirschneck about their collaboration on advancing flow chemistry and continuous manufacturing. They discuss how plug-and-play modular systems can accelerate process transfer, streamline scale-up, and reduce waste and energy use, as well as how digital tools and regulatory guidance under ICH Q13 are shaping the next generation of continuous manufacturing.

Some conversations feel scripted. This one… absolutely did not. Larry Robbins walked in ready to talk life, passion, family, culture, workholding, philosophy, and whatever else popped into his head — and somehow it all connected back to manufacturing. This episode of MakingChips is one of the most unhinged, hilarious, honest, and wisdom-packed conversations we've ever recorded. Larry has been in the industry for nearly 46 years, and he's collected enough stories, scars, and laughs for ten careers. From his father dragging him into the business ("long hair doesn't work here") to his famous explanation that SMW makes "magic hands," Larry blends humor and experience into lessons every shop owner needs to hear. His passion for the industry is unmatched — and his candor is even better. Throughout the episode, the crew dives into culture, leadership, lying (don't), modularity, flexibility, high-density workholding, predictable setups, financing equipment, and why you should stop crawling across a dollar to pick up a dime. Larry opens up about the future of manufacturing, warns against bad advice, and reminds everyone that machining touches every single thing in the world. If you're ready for an episode that's equal parts educational and unhinged in the best possible way, buckle up — Larry Robbins is in rare form.

A Clare TD fears communities in dire need of housing could be dealt a "serious setback" if a proposal to speed up construction becomes bogged down in bureaucracy. Bodyke Fine Gael Deputy Joe Cooney is urging the Government and Uisce Éireann not to create a "technical jungle" when establishing planning guidance for a new scheme involving modular wastewater treatment systems. The scheme, which was proposed by Deputy Cooney in June, will see developers use modular units in areas where wastewater treatment plants are at capacity to facilitate housing delivery. He says excessive red tape must be avoided to ensure the practice is adopted in 2026.

Local residents of Brittas in Dublin are seeking orders to remove a set of modular homes that were allegedly built in the area without any planning permission.

Why is buying a home harder than ever in 2025 — even worse than 2007? Sean Dobson, Chairman & CEO of Amherst (one of America's largest real estate investment firms), joins The Right Idea to break down the real drivers of the housing affordability crisis and what can actually fix it. We dive deep into labor costs, local regulations, property taxes, garages nobody uses, the future of renting vs. owning, immigration's impact on construction, and why gimmicks like 50-year mortgages or rent control won't solve anything. If you want to understand why young families can't buy homes anymore — and what policymakers should actually do — this is the episode. 01:14 – Hot Take: Why the Epstein file release won't end the conspiracies03:06 – Today's guest: Sean Dobson (CEO of Amherst)04:12 – What actually goes into the cost of building a house?

Stack or Stall: Why Credentials Collapse but Ecosystems CompoundLast year's Chemistry Nobel went to non-chemists. The lasting power of domain-specific credentials is collapsing - but David Julian has seen this pattern before across four technological revolutions and knows what compounds instead. From Hotjobs.com to Google's global EdTech partnerships, Julian identified what separates transformative innovations from footnotes: they teach users something new, reduce friction, and fundamentally improve lives. Now on Harvard's Galileo Project steering committee, he's applying ecosystem logic to AI-powered astrophysics - and discovering why stacking beats selecting.The insight: Skills stack. Modular, complementary, and interoperable capabilities stack. Liberal arts + AI certifications compound income dramatically. Universities aren't obsolete - their business models are. Survivors become platforms for compounding, not gatekeepers of credentials.Paradigm Shifts:

On this episode of The Data Center Frontier Show, Editor in Chief Matt Vincent sits down with Rob Campbell, President of Flex Communications, Enterprise & Cloud, and Chris Butler, President of Flex Power, to unpack Flex's bold new integrated data center platform as unveiled at the 2025 OCP Global Summit. Flex says the AI era has broken traditional data center models, pushing power, cooling, and compute to the point where they can no longer be engineered separately. Their answer is a globally manufactured, pre-engineered platform that unifies these components into modular pods and skids, designed to cut deployment timelines by up to 30 percent and support gigawatt-scale AI campuses. Rob and Chris explain how Flex is blending JetCool's chip-level liquid cooling with scalable rack-level CDUs; how higher-voltage DC architectures (400V today, 800V next) will reshape power delivery; and why Flex's 110-site global manufacturing footprint gives it a unique advantage in speed and resilience. They also explore Flex's lifecycle intelligence strategy, the company's circular-economy approach to modular design, and their view of the “data center of 2030”—a landscape defined by converged power and IT, liquid cooling as default, and modular units capable of being deployed in 30–60 days. It's a deep look at how one of the world's largest manufacturers plans to redefine AI-scale infrastructure.

In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, DCF Editor-in-Chief Matt Vincent speaks with Ed Nichols, President and CEO of Expanse Energy / RRPT Hydro, and Gregory Tarver, Chief Electrical Engineer, about a new kind of hydropower built for the AI era. RRPT Hydro's piston-driven gravity and buoyancy system generates electricity without dams or flowing rivers—using the downward pull of gravity and the upward lift of buoyancy in sealed cylinders. Once started, the system runs self-sufficiently, producing predictable, zero-emission power. Designed for modular, scalable deployment—from 15 kW to 1 GW—the technology can be installed underground or above ground, enabling data centers to power themselves behind the meter while reducing grid strain and even selling excess energy back to communities. At an estimated Levelized Cost of Energy of $3.50/MWh, RRPT Hydro could dramatically undercut traditional renewables and fossil power. The company is advancing toward commercial readiness (TRL 7–9) and aims to build a 1 MW pilot plant within 12–15 months. Nichols and Tarver describe this moonshot innovation, introduced at the 2025 DCF Trends Summit, as a “Wright Brothers moment” for hydropower—one that could redefine sustainable baseload energy for data centers and beyond. Listen now to explore how RRPT Hydro's patented piston-driven system could reshape the physics, economics, and deployment model of clean energy.

This first autumn podcast episode features Finnish fashion designer Sofia Ilmonen, who discusses her approach to creating modular, transformable garments that can be reshaped and reassembled like building blocks. Ilmonen details how her use of simple square or rectangular modules contributes to her sustainability goals. She also explains her focus on "sizeless" garments aiming to increase longevity by addressing the poor fit, which she identifies as one of the biggest reasons for discarding clothing. Sofia Ilmonen is a fashion designer whose work centres on modular, transformable clothing that merges sustainability with innovative garment design. At the core of her concept is adaptability — both in silhouette and size — with the aim of promoting a more responsible and inclusive fashion culture. The modular approach extends garment lifespans by allowing pieces to be reassembled and reshaped endlessly.All garments are built from square-shaped modules, a form that not only follows zero-waste cutting principles but also embodies the idea of continuous design. Each module is compatible with any part of a garment and is joined using a unique system of specially designed 3D-printed buttons. This enables infinite transformations without sewing and makes the garments sizeless, adaptable to many body shapes and styles.Sofia's work has been presented in international exhibitions and featured in publications such as British and Scandinavian Vogue. Her Aalto University thesis was recognized with the Marimekko Award and the Finnish Textile and Fashion Prize, and she received the prestigious Mercedes-Benz Sustainability Prize at the Festival de Hyères. Her modular collections have also been showcased at Berlin and Copenhagen Fashion Weeks.Before founding her own label, Sofia worked extensively in London in roles ranging from seamstress and creative pattern cutter to designer. Her three years at Alexander McQueen, immersed in the world of high fashion and craftsmanship, left a profound influence on her design philosophy and continue to shape her practice today.Support the showThank you for listening!
