Brian Joins Sustainable Nation to Discuss: ADS' plastic recycling operations and achievements Strategic efforts at ADS to reduce GHG emissions and their recognition as one of America's climate leaders by USA Today Partnerships that advance recycling and sustainability initiatives Advice and recommendations for sustainability professionals Brian's Final Five Questions Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers?  I think we tend to underestimate what change we can make over a decade, and so I think we need to look at change over a longer period. We overestimate what you can do in a year. We're always very aggressive about what you can do in a year, and then we underestimate what you can do over a decade. But if you look back, you find that we've made great change over decades. So I think we need to adjust how we look at how change. The change we make and the impact that we have needs to be longer term.  What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability?  I get really excited when people say plastics recycling doesn't work, because it does. Even though there's no silver bullet in solving the plastics problem. Because plastics in the environment is a problem, and we need to work together to solve that. I get pretty excited because a lot of people tell us that plastics recycling doesn't work, and ADS is an example that, yes, it does. We can actually effectively create circular economies for plastics and we can help to solve the plastic problem. That excites me because that is a big deal.  What is one book you'd recommend sustainability leaders read?  My favorite is Cradle to Cradle. It's remaking the way that we make things. As someone who's done product management for a lot of their career, sustainability is key to product management. We need to think about end of life. When you design a product, it shouldn't just be around the economic value or the features and benefits or the value proposition that the product's delivering. You need to think about what happens at the end of life. Cradle to Cradle is a great way to open your eyes to that.  What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work?  We talked about one of them, being partners with groups like the Recycling Partnership. There's passionate individuals, people who are doing things across the country that you can hear from. The Ohio State Sustainability Institute being another one I talked about. Talking to those like minded companies, talking to those like minded people, people finding those like minded organizations out there that are aligned with what it is that you want to do from a sustainability perspective. Sustainability professionals listen to this. We have to make sure we make those connections because some of the best resources are talking to people about what they've learned, what failed, what worked. That gets me really excited.  Where can our listeners go to learn more about you and the work being done at ADS?  If anyone wants to email me here at ADS, it's brian.king@adspipe.com. I'm on LinkedIn, Brian W. King. LinkedIn is the way to find me.

Nate has an incredible background—from growing up a farm in Ohio to professional skater to a bartender for over a decade.  Looking for stability, he hounded Big Blue Plumbing's owner, Paul Gerrard, who gave him an opportunity… an opportunity that's been good for both men. Nate loves what he does—helping people.  And he loves where he works.  Why?  He was quick to say: Big Blue Plumbing feels like family.  He's happy there.  He enjoys who he works with and who he works for.  As a result, not only is he very productive; Big Blue Plumbing is a stellar company with many successful people. In this latest episode of The Successful Contractor, Nate also shares his service call process, including how he… ·        Quickly gains homeowners' trust by getting “3 yeses” and a “thank you” within minutes of coming into the home.·        Almost always can conduct a complete plumbing safety check.·        Provides “probably too much information” to homeowners to help them make an educated decision about plumbing improvements.·        Talks to homeowners about the value of replacing their water heater, as well as how he informs homeowners about the value of tankless systems.·        Offers camera inspections on mainline sewer calls.·        Sells the value of a club membership well beyond the discount.·        Handles objections like, “But the part only costs THIS MUCH,” and “I think I want to get other bids.”·        And so much more!  Show NotesThe Successful Contractor Podcast is a part of the CertainPath family.  CertainPath builds successful home service businesses—and has for 25 years.  We do it by providing contractors with a proven path to success, professional coaching, software solutions, and a member community of 1,100+ strong.

This week on The Exit: Lee Blaylock is a third generation entrepreneur: both his grandfather and father were real estate entrepreneurs, so Lee was bound to become one. He just needed to find a compelling idea at the right time. When his father sadly passed away, Lee found himself focusing on his studies, and he discovered his love for software and tech. This led him to work for Dell for a very long time, before he finally got recruited to work on his true passion — software — at Oracle. Two years later, Lee quit Oracle to start his first business, ServiceLane, a directory for home-oriented service providers. Lee went on to exit ServiceLane after it was funded by some of the biggest names in the industry, and he exited numerous other businesses. With this many exits under his belt, Lee has some great advice and tips for whoever wants to turn a passion into business. Tune in and grab pen and paper! Lee Blaylock is the founder or co-founder of ConstructionBevy, NiceLeads, Find A Game, Annandale Capital, and ServiceLane. The first company he started, ServiceLane, was funded by Austin Ventures, Fremont Ventures, and Silicon Valley Bank, and was sold to Owens Corning. ConstructionBevy is a FinTech-enabled marketplace for the commercial construction industry, where they aim to help general contractors find the right trade partners for their work.

What should you expect from the industrial real estate markets in 2023? Hosts Bill Condon and Matt McGregor sit down with Jim Eckert from Owens Corning to discuss the current and future states of industrial real estate. They explore key trends that will shape the markets in 2023, the labor dilemma, and why finding the right properties is difficult post-pandemic.After the effects of the pandemic eased up, the industrial manufacturing space underwent a lot of changes - most of which led to rapid business growth.Although the pandemic was disastrous for the economy, Jim points out that industrial manufacturers still managed to thrive.Inflation, interest rates, and supply chain issues have made finding industrial properties tedious and expensive.Jim shares why he's a member of the Industrial Asset Management Council (IAMC), how long he's been a member, and why he keeps coming back.Industry events and conferences are the best places to network, learn, and grow as a professional.What should you expect going into 2023 now that things are slowly going back to normal?Smart business professionals prepare well in advance and never pull the trigger on anything without deep research.Like everybody else, Jim has also been hit by the labor crisis. He believes the best way to tackle this mess is to make the industry attractive to young professionals.Attracting good talent is hard; keeping that talent is even harder. But there's nothing as challenging as finding a manager capable of leading exceptional talent and making them successful. Mentioned in this episode:Industrial Advisors - https://www.industrialadvisors.com/

Ensuring a smooth transition between an outgoing and incoming CxO is one of the most complex projects for any organization to take on, but Owens Corning CIO, Steve Zerby, is taking a different approach.Steve has more than doubled the average CIO tenure during his time at Owens Corning, with the key to his success being his dedication to investing in his team members to ensure that as Owens Corning finds success, so do his people. Annie Baymiller is one of those people, currently serving as a VP of IT and a Market-Facing Digital Leader for Owens Corning. After a legendary 36-year career as CIO at Owens Corning, Steve is preparing to hand the reins to Annie, so we've invited both of them to talk about what it really means to craft a high-quality succession plan and how strong mentorship can make or break any leadership transition.In this episode, we discuss:What it means to consider succession as the end of a journey, rather than the beginning of a new oneHow to build a great organizational culture as a data leader to become a great place to workThe importance of matching the actual employee experience to the promised “brochure” experience.Why the greatest technology leaders focus far more on their people than their technology
