    Working with Family and The Construction Comedy School

    We've been on hiatus for awhile and will be getting back on track. I've been up north selling a condo and working in the construction biz with my family. Also trying to find a house for my daughter in Sarasota has been challenging. Construction Comedy School will be kicking off its 28th season and we tell you a little bit about that.

    The Ex California Builder w/Art Steedle

    I met Art Steedle in 2021 in Burbank, CA after months of watching audition videos for a show I was working on for Tough Built industries. We were looking for personalities to discuss construction related topics on a show called "Hammer It Out". Art was one of the guys we chose and when I went out to Burbank to produce the show we hit it off immediately. Unfortunately the show never took off but I continued to stay in touch with Art through social media. Art has since moved from California to Tennessee like so many others who have escaped for a better life with less government destruction. Art tells about his career in the industry and about how his life has changed from moving from California. He calls it a Reverse Beverly Hillbillies.

    We Have Cows in Florida? w/Tim the Dairy Farmer

    Tim Moffett a.k.a. Tim the Dairy farmer is definitely not a politician or motivational speaker. He is a Florida dairy farmer and stand-up comedian. I met Tim at McCurdys Comedy Theater in Sarasota Florida over 15 years ago, I think it could be more. He specializes in dairy farmer humor acquired from growing up on a farm and still to this day running a dairy farm business. We discuss cow behavior, Florida heat, cow history, stand up comedy and much more.

    The Funny Plumber w/Nathan Wallace

    Usually we get just a man in labor but today we have a plumber that turned into a professional comedian. Nathan Wallace worked in the plumbing industry full time until about a month ago after 20+ years in the business. Nathan decided to hang it up and go full time into the stand up comedy biz. I met Nathan at least 10 years ago at a gig he was running near the dog track in Naples, FL. He is always jovial, funny, hilarious and having a good time. He talks about how he has done pretty much everything in plumbing including belonging to a plumbing union in West Palm. This is a great episode about how versatile a human can be. Nathan is a lot of fun and catch him on my comedy pod The Carmen Ciricillo Show

    The Construction Company You Wished You Worked For - Winter Park Construction w/ Jeff Forrest

    When I first got started doing construction comedy and construction seminars I met Tracy and Jeff Forrest from Winter Park Construction. I was invited to torment their employees by pretending to be a newly hired project manager. This is the story of how Winter Park Construction helped me realize how much fun you could have with a construction company while still getting it done. Jeff Forrest is one of the most easy going guys that took the reigns of WPC from his brother Tracy and now has handed them down to his son Jeff Forrest - keeping it in the family. You can have fun, live a big life and be one of the most reputable construction businesses in Florida and make it look easy. I did shows for WPC for more than 20 years and I was jealous of the employees that worked there full time.

    The Community Builder w/ Howard Wheeler

    Howard Wheeler is a community builder. He is the president of Chris-Tel Construction and not only builds structures he builds community. Howard is dedicated to the Lee County (Ft. Myers) area of Florida and has been there for generations. I've known Howard for over 20 years through my construction school and we talk about some of the major events that have shaped Florida including Hurricane Ian that affected his area. We also discuss leaving your area to find greener pastures vs staying in one spot. How to help the next generation of leaders in the construction industry is also important to him and he talks about his internship programs and how he hires. Don't think this pod is not entertaining, the amount of information Howard offers is staggering but he's jovial and a great personality that knows how to have fun. If you're a beginning entrepreneur or a seasoned business man this pod will not only be insightful but also entertaining for you.
