    Ep. 84: Things I Have Learned About Facility Management & The Workplace (Part 1) | Mike Petrusky - Host of the FM Innovator Podcast

    Mike Petrusky launched this podcast in the fall of 2016 with little understanding of where the show might go and who would be listening. If a few friends from the Capital Chapter of IFMA tuned in, he thought, that would be an incredible compliment and a lot of fun. But now, just a year and half and over 80 episodes later, with thousands of monthly downloads from around the world, Mike reflects on what he has learned and is thankful for the amazing adventure this podcast journey has been! The workplace is evolving rapidly and we are not just dealing with simple changes, but transformational ones, so we must be in the business of rethinking the ways we care for the built environment.
