    Episode 0 - The Start

    In this first episode, Lars introduces himself and the podcast — why a container builder from Berlin decided to start a show, and what Boxed & More is really about. Not just the finished builds and pretty pictures, but the real stories behind them: the architecture, the engineering, the entrepreneurship, and the hard-won lessons along the way. Lars shares how his work at a container conversion workshop opened his eyes to just how much incredible stuff is happening in this space — and why he couldn't stop wanting to bring those conversations to a wider audience. The show will feature a lineup of guests from across the industry — leading architects, entrepreneurs, engineers, and real clients with fascinating builds — as well as some of the biggest names in the container and modular world. Whether you've been building with containers for years or you just spotted a cool container coffee shop and want to know more, this is your invitation in.
