Finally. GlassBuild America week! If you are at the show, please feel free to grab me to say hi. I often am in 1,000 different directions, and I miss seeing people… I look forward to it.
Most glass, window, and door companies think artificial intelligence, or AI, means million-dollar projects. That belief keeps them stuck doing nothing. The smart move is to start small with AI and visibility systems that deliver immediate ROI: content creation, research automation, voice agents for after-hours calls, and follow-up systems.

A new episode of the “From the Fabricator” podcast is now up, and this was a learning edition for me. First up, Seth Madole of Viracon. Seth has been a key cog in the Viracon machine for years, and it was great to get his insight into successful business approaches and, of course, the supply chain, which falls under his responsibilities at Viracon. Then I talked with Kevin Black of Flexijet.
Typically, I usually end my blog posts with a list… but this week I’ll flip the script and start with one. This is the 1st half of 2025 Top US Metro areas for commercial buildings and multifamily housing construction starts via Dodge.
