Construction Junkie’s annual Best Construction Podcast of 2020 Competition is underway and the voting booth is officially open. As part of the competition, I will be individually highlighting each of the 12 nominees throughout until the booth closes on July 1. Next up is CONEXPO-CON/AGG Radio.
The two-time (two-time) defending champ is back in the Best Construction Podcast Competition again, looking to complete the highly sought after three-peat. While the name remains the same, the show has completed a significant transformation since the last competition.
Mid last year, CONEXPO-CON/AGG Radio announced a new host for the monthly podcast, Minneapolis –based contractor, Missy Scherber.
“Since August 2019, construction business owner and social media influencer Missy Scherber has been the voice behind a new series on CONEXPO-CON/AGG Radio called “’Contractor Conversations,’” Scherber and the show’s producers told me, “’Contractor Conversations’ features boots-on-the-ground perspectives from construction business owners and industry experts about their successes, challenges and whatever else on their minds. From workforce development to technology implementation to equipment solutions, listeners can walk away with actionable ways to advance their business.”
Scherber herself is also a small business owner of Scherber Roll-Offs, which helps her give real life perspective to the conversations she has with her show’s guests. It also shapes her passion for the people, equipment, and technology behind the business.
“From the start, our mission with this podcast has been focused on connecting the people, equipment and technology necessary to advance the construction industry as a whole,” Scherber explained, “I’ve loved the opportunity to connect with experts from around the industry to share their stories. Getting advice from others in your field who aren’t direct competitors is invaluable, and podcasts like CONEXPO-CON/AGG Radio are a great way to do that.”
How many opportunities do you truly get in the industry to speak with people who are open to sharing their experiences and “tricks of the trade” to others in their same line of work? That’s a pretty incredible opportunity to hear those perspectives as a listener.
With goals to grow her own business in a significant way, Scherber not only gains insights from others who share that goal, but also talks to people in the world of construction technology about ways certain products can make their teams more efficient and productive.
The new show concept has certainly achieved their goals of sharing valuable perspectives from many influential and fascinating people within the construction equipment sector and is worth a listen for anyone looking to better themselves or their business.
