This week’s podcasts are from the 2019 International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Patrick and Matt talk with a window and door manufacturer about window trends and a push toward putting higher-end features on mid-line windows, and chat with the owners of a Colorado roofing company about the dangers of being the lowest bidder, keeping good employees, and building a business culture that attracts and retains top talent.
This episode of the podcast is brought to you by Pella. Visit Pella Window and Doors.
