Justin Ferguson spends his workdays making Virginia real estate deals. But when work is done and it's time to play, Ferguson becomes TheBlackSommRVA, a role that allows him to share the wine knowledge he's learned while becoming a WSET Level 3 certified sommelier. "The more I jumped into this business [commercial real estate], I started being around wine more, and I wanted to be a better agent and understand what my clients want. So I'm like, let me learn about it. I've just kept progressing. And here we are now," he said about the bridging of his real estate and wine careers. "During COVID, it was great when the world was shutting down, and you didn't want to talk to anyone about real estate. I would call people and say, 'Hey, let's drink wine and talk about something other than real estate. We'll sit six feet apart and just be humans.' Real estate is transactional, but it gets too transactional. So, like, hey, Justin is here to provide wine value to me as well." But Ferguson doesn't just use wine to help his real estate career. He's been able to launch a second career as the wine director at The Underground Kitchen in Richmond, Virginia. "It is an experiential dining kitchen. So we're not open every day, which is great," he said. "The Kitchen pays respect and creativity to the LGBTQ community but also to chefs of color with flavors. We like seasoning. Chef Steve Glenn likes Creole and Southern cooking. So that's good portion sizes, but really well-seasoned food. It's fun pairing different cultures with wine." Initially inspired by Dlynn Proctor and the movie SOMM, Ferguson said he hopes his efforts expose more people to the beauty and wonder of wine. "There was a guy, his name was Dlynn Proctor, and he was, like, the only Black guy. There aren't many Black Master Somms. So seeing him in that role sparked the idea — representation matters," Ferguson said about his initial push toward earning his sommelier certification. "Because my family still, to this day, doesn't drink wine; they aren't wine people. They are beer and other alcohol drinkers. I think [wine] wasn't introduced throughout my culture the same way other spirits were." When asked to recommend a bottle of wine for Eat It, Virginia listeners to try, Ferguson did not hesitate. "The thing on top of my mind right now is, honestly, Black winemakers," he said. "One that I've been enjoying is O.P.P wine (Other People's Pinot Noir) by André Mack."

Amidst the unprecedented destruction wrought by the multiple fires that swept across Southern California in January 2025, there are opportunities, and causes for optimism that we can build back, better than before. Among these is the prospective role of prefabricated construction, which can be 30 to 50 percent faster than traditional methods. Steve Glenn, CEO of Plant Prefab, shares his thoughts on the role prefab can play in reconstruction. -- Intro/Outro: “Elevator,” by The Cooper Vane -- Discussed: Bloomberg CityLab: Los Angeles Fire Victims Turn to Prefab Homes for Quick Builds Regulations: California Coastal Commission CEQA CALGreen Title 24 HUD Code (Manufactured Homes) Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Zones Woolsey fire, 2018 Architecturally significant buildings (at least 32) lost in the fires
This week on Everybody in the Pool, we're back to buildings! Buildings and the built environment are responsible for as much as 40 percent of carbon emissions and energy demand. In fact, a UN report from 2022 found that although the buildings and construction industry has done some investing in energy efficiency and more sustainable processes, its emissions hit an all-time high that year, after a brief dip during the pandemic. Solutions lie in more sustainable building practices, denser housing, and better building materials, and this week's guest is doing all three. Plant Prefab sustainably builds multi-unit housing in super high-tech automated factories. This week's guest is founder and former CEO Steve Glenn.RESOURCES & LINKSPlant Prefab: https://www.plantprefab.com/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member and get an ad-free version of the podcast: https://plus.acast.com/s/everybody-in-the-pool Please subscribe and tell your friends about EITP!

Prefabricated and manufactured homes are cropping up more and more across the U.S., as more companies look to build housing in new ways, as a way to help alleviate housing shortages, lengthy construction timelines, environmental issues, and now, supply chain issues. The Real Deal talks to a few homebuilders about the benefits and disadvantages of manufactured housing and how exactly you build a home in a factory. You'll hear from Steve Glenn, the CEO of Plant Prefab, Lauren Tucker, the co-founder of Orbit Homes, and John Geary, the CEO of Abodu. Credits: CBS' WBBM-TV Chicago
The promise and pursuit of successful prefab houses has been going on nearly 100 years. Frank Lloyd Wright tried and it didn't go so well. Sears, the retail store that's hurting these days, had a pretty good run in the early 20th century. For a while, people loved ordering houses right out of the Sears catalog. Later on after WWII, the cult favorite Lustron, well, not so much. There have been more than a dozen firms trying to create a modular home line that people will buy in large-enough numbers. But the idea of getting a well-designed, energy-efficient, affordable factory-built house delivered to your lot and assembled in days or weeks? What's not to like? Today we continue the prefab quest with Connect Homes' Gordon Stott, Jared Levy, and Greg Leung. Then we visit with Steve Glenn, founder and CEO of Plant Prefab and Steve's collaborator, Swiss designer Yves Béhar. Later on, a few minutes with Frank Harmon.
Summary:Here's a quick word association. What comes to mind when you hear the word, “construction.” Your first thought probably wasn't “efficient,” but CEO Steve Glenn and his company, Plant Prefab, are trying to change that. Plant Prefab creates architect-designed custom homes held to the highest environmental standards and, because they fabricate structural pieces at production facilities simultaneously to onsite construction, they operate much more efficiently than companies using traditional methods.The construction sector is vast, with every niche having multi-billion dollar potential. Companies that can set themselves apart through innovation have a lot to gain. Reliability, efficiency, and an eco-friendly mission that appeals to both socially conscious consumers as well as developers trying to keep up with ever-stricter government regulations are helping Plant Prefab stand out from the competition. In an industry where cost of labor is a particular pain point, the ability to streamline and regulate the building process is in increasingly high demand, especially in the urban infill corner of the market where Plant Prefab thrives.In this episode, Steve Glenn shares his insights on the massive investment opportunity that is the real estate and construction market, and what Plant Prefab is doing to continue setting new standards of efficiency and sustainability in the industry.Highlights: Introduction to Steve Glenn and Plant Prefab (2:26) Why Plant Prefab is a technology company (6:10) Plant Prefab's investors (8:19) Pros and cons to focusing on urban infill (12:39) The stats on Plant Prefab vs. traditional building methods (16:15) Achieving carbon neutrality (19:08) The “hub and spoke” model of manufacturing facilities (22:05) Efficiency and sustainability in the construction industry (26:33) Links:ICR TwitterICR LinkedInICR WebsitePlant Prefab WebsiteSteve Glenn LinkedInPlant Prefab LinkedInFeedback:If you have questions about the show, or have a topic in mind you'd like discussed in future episodes, email our producer, andrew@lowerstreet.co.
M.A.D.E. (Motivated, Accessible, Disciplined, Expressive) MEN PROJECT
Today I am doing a SPECIAL FATHERS DAY EDITION of the M.A.D.E. MEN PROJECT. My guest are Steve Glenn Sr. who is a Serial Entrepreneur, one of the wisest and knowledgeable men I know, and a truly loving husband and father. My 2nd guest is his youngest son, current contestant on Season 20 of Hells Kitchens Young Guns, Chef Steve Glenn Jr. This episode will really pull at your heart strings and even may cause your eyes to start sweating...lol. It was truly amazing to see such a genuine display of love and affection between father and son while digging into the mindset from the father and sons perspective.
Can you keep a secret? Chef Steve Glenn sure can. The Chesterfield native is about a make his national television debut on Hell's Kitchen Young Guns with Gordon Ramsay. A secret the 23-year-old Manchester High School graduate had to sit on throughout the pandemic. The competition, which begins its television run at the end of May, was actually filmed in 2019. The pandemic pushed back the start date, forcing Glenn to keep quiet. "I had to pretty much be silent for two years," Glenn said. "Of course my family knew and, of course, the people that compete with you. But as far as everybody else, we just kind of had to go back to normal life, which was really weird. Just, going through all of that and then coming home like, alright, go back to normal life as nothing happened. I'm glad I can finally let the world know. It's good to get that off my chest." In the kitchen, the former executive sous chef at Richmond Country Club said he gets inspired by music and his grandmother's cooking. "She would make all types of stuff. She loved to do fish and grits. She made the best greens and mac and cheese I've ever had in my entire life," Glenn said. "She got me in the kitchen, at like 10, peeling potatoes and cleaning collard greens. I was just always amazed at her ability to transform these raw ingredients into you know, something I could eat two bowls of." You can follow Chef Steve Glenn on social media here.

Steve Glenn is CEO of Plant Prefab, a Rialto, Calif.-based builder of high-quality, sustainable, prefabricated single-family and multifamily homes. The company made a splash last year when Amazon announced it had invested in the company through its Alexa Fund, the company’s first investment in home construction. Plant Prefab’s niche is in the custom urban market, which in the past has predominantly been served only by small, local general contractors. Glenn sees an opportunity to build these small urban projects faster, less expensively, and with higher quality using modular techniques. Tune in to hear more of Glenn’s thoughts on why modular construction offers an opportunity to build projects as much as 25% less expensively than site-built homes and why Plant Prefab is developing a new panel to work alongside its prefabricated modules.

Who's the most influential person in a real estate development, the architect, the owner, the builder...? What about the developer? Real estate developers are often seen as the bad guys, out to make a bunch of money without really caring about the quality of homes of lifestyles resulting from their work. Steve Glenn's philosophy however is that developers have a huge potential to control what gets created in real estate and he's passionate about creating a good product. The mission of Living Homes LLC is "...to create homes and communities that inspire people, foster family and community interaction, and make modern life easier, healthier and more comfortable..." http://livinghomes.nethttp://homestylegreen.com/147
