    The Hands That Built America | Kim Pierce on Saving the Skilled Trades

    On this episode of Commercial Construction Coffee Talk (CCCT), David Corson sits down with Kim Pierce, author of The Hands That Built This: Restoring Respect and Rebuilding the Future of the Trades, for a conversation about the men and women who build America—and why the future of the skilled trades matters to all of us. Kim brings firsthand experience to the discussion, with years spent working as a carpenter and ironworker followed by two decades in construction safety. Her book tackles the skilled labor challenge head-on while making the case for apprenticeships, career education and restoring pride and respect to people who choose to work with their hands. From construction sites and skilled labor to education, workforce development and the next generation, we discuss why young people need to see the trades not as a backup plan, but as an opportunity to build a career, financial independence and a legacy. And on Labor Day, the message couldn't be more appropriate. America wasn't built from behind a desk alone. It was built by carpenters, electricians, welders, ironworkers, plumbers, equipment operators and countless other skilled professionals who showed up every day and GSD—Got Stuff Done. The question now is: Who will build the next generation of America? Grab a cup of coffee and join us for this important conversation on Commercial Construction Coffee Talk.

    Larry Lane with Unsquashable Padding by LSI Flooring

    What makes a carpet or rug cushion truly durable, resilient and “Unsquashable”? In this episode of Commercial Construction Coffee Talk, host David Corson sits down with Larry Lane, President of LSI Flooring, to explore the technology and performance behind Unsquashable™ high-density urethane carpet and rug cushion. First developed in 1984, Unsquashable Padding uses proprietary chemistry and advanced manufacturing technology to support residential, commercial and hospitality flooring applications.
