The latest edition of the “From the Fabricator” podcast is out, and we’re big game hunting this time with two industry heavyweights. I start with Devin Bowman of TGP & Allegion.

I’ve got a new episode of the “From the Fabricator” podcast loaded up for you, and as I mentioned last week, it’s a real dandy. This time out, I begin with Kevin Hardman of Hardman Glazing Management. You may know him from several different avenues, including his legendary Tools Tuesday pieces, but he goes much deeper than all of that. Really cool guy with some excellent stories, and his family's past is similar to mine, going back to the 1800s. Fun one all the way around.
When it comes to AI, there are no clear-cut answers—whether it’s choosing a major or continuing to provide glazing solutions to multiple building sectors.
