    Listen to Bill Speak with VP of AGC Brian Turmail About His Career and The Challenges America Faces When Training Workers to Meet Industry Demands

    Hear Bill's interview with Brian Turmail, Vice President, Public Affairs & Workforce, Associated General Contractors of America. (AGC). Brian's role is to develop and oversee all public, member, and chapter communications activities for the 27,000 member construction trade association. He also helps oversee the implementation of the association's Centennial "Future Focus" plan designed to position the association to help member firms thrive amid significant technological, process, and labor transformations taking place within the industry. Brian has been a guest on our show before and he does an excellent job of outlining the challenges America faces in regards to hiring and training a workforce to keep pace with the construction industry demands. As an example, according to a survey by the Associated General Contractors of America, 80% of construction companies in Florida say they are having a hard time finding workers. This poses a serious issue as our state is experiencing explosive growth and we need workers for every facet of the construction industry, including infrastructure improvements, roads, bridges, homes, condos, and office buildings, manufacturing plants, and more. Brian and Bill discuss the return of vocational education in our schools to further develop a "home grown" workforce, as well as an H-2B program to help provide workers to meet employment demands. The construction industry offers amazing opportunities for individuals who wish to earn an earnest living...and perhaps one day, start and run their own business. Support the show

    Listen to Bill Interview REC Regional Sales Manager-Southeast Sebastiaan Lang About REC and Their Focus

    Hear Bill chat with Sebastiaan Lang, Regional Sales Manager-Southeast for REC Americas. REC Group, founded in 1996, has been a trusted solar panel manufacturer, and a true pioneer in the solar industry for nearly three decades. Their principal focus is on producing high quality, high performance solar panels, (modules), for both residential and commercial applications. An example of their dedication to excellence is the fact that their solar panels will retain 92% of its power, even after 25 years of exposure to the extreme heat here in Florida...and the freezing conditions that our friends "up north" sometimes enjoy. The residential solar panel that is extremely popular today is the REC Alpha Pure-RX Series. This all black solar panel not only looks beautiful on the roof of homes across the land, it also utilizes the latest heterojunction technology. These panels are now available in sizes up to 470 dc watts. (To provide perspective, just a few short years ago, a typical solar panel might have been about 250 dc watts in size). On the commercial side, the REC Alpha Pro M Series and is available in sizes up to 640 dc watts. (WOW)! This is ideal for large scale installations allowing businesses to take control of their overhead, lock in their energy costs, and provide an environmental footprint that reflects the sustainability goals of the company. Both the residential and the commercial solar panels carry a "World Class" REC 25 year ProTrust Warranty. It was fun to hear of Sebastiaan's travels abroad and the journey that brought him to REC. We hope you can join us as Sebastiaan shares examples of the popularity of solar power around the world and some of the unique features that make REC solar panels so unique and popular.
