We focus a lot on her sign making abilities, which is a significant part of what she does. We talk a lot about hand painted sign work, which is something that you really start to notice when you are exposed to the history and beauty of this work. Kelsi is also passionate about the lives of those around her, and how we can all work on making the future better and brighter. Listen along as we have a great conversation with another interesting gusset on The JoContractor Show!#construction #contractor #remodeling #renovation #homeimprovement #DIY #builder #architecture #constructionworker #building #homedesign #constructionindustry #tools #realestate #jocontractor #jocontractorapp #kelsisharp #sharpsignco #handpaintedsigns Mon, 06 Nov 2023 19:49:16 +0000 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/626ead1310769d706937a9a3/t/65494294c6f1d201f0bb527b/1699300093031/Kelsi+Sharp.mp3 http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/static1.squarespace.com/static/626ead1310769d706937a9a3/t/6529551e04292231184d3e93/1697207664419/The+Hosts+and+Jo.mp3 In the first half of this episode we sit down and have a conversation with each other- just the three hosts.

This show was a little more laid back than some because Damaris is simply easy to have a chat with! You want to know more about her life and work, and how she aspires to be a role model to young women as others have been for her.Here is a link to her Ted Talk.And a recent article in EnterMN.#construction #contractor #remodeling #renovation #homeimprovement #DIY #builder #architecture #constructionworker #building #homedesign #constructionindustry #tools #realestate #damarishollingsworth #architecture #entermn Tue, 26 Sep 2023 21:43:50 +0000 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/626ead1310769d706937a9a3/t/65134fc035c32b1df6c898ad/1695764494850/Damaris+Hollingsworth.mp3 http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/static1.squarespace.com/static/626ead1310769d706937a9a3/t/6503537b2add156abd7ac26f/1694716925352/John+Thomas.mp3 John Thomas is one of the Thomas brothers, four of whom own PipeRight Plumbing here in Minnesota. John's kindness and warmth, as well as his unwavering dedication to faith and decency, come through naturally as we trade stories about plumbing and the trades in general. I’m not saying you are likely to learn much about plumbing on this episode- maybe check out one of our Construction Quickies if you are looking for information. This episode is fun and lighthearted. Consider this a warning- there is talk about bodily functions in this episode!#construction #contractor #remodeling #renovation #homeimprovement #DIY #builder #architecture #constructionworker #building #homedesign #constructionindustry #tools #realestate #plumbing #PipeRight Thu, 14 Sep 2023 19:30:20 +0000 http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/static1.squarespace.com/static/626ead1310769d706937a9a3/t/6503537b2add156abd7ac26f/1694716925352/John+Thomas.mp3 http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/static1.squarespace.com/static/626ead1310769d706937a9a3/t/64c7aa8433ba0f367dbf58b6/1690807004502/Sarah+Lechowich.mp3 Sarah Lechowich of True North Roofing joined the JoContractor team to discuss a wide range of topics- though as you can imagine, we do focus a good amount of our energy on roofing! Sarah is confident and knowledgeable about the world of roofing. She comes across as almost professorial, which she owes to the fact that she was a professor in the past! You are going to enjoy this one.

We cover a lot about what it takes to learn and grow in the construction industry and how rewarding that growth can be. Gabe is Lori’s son, so this show was a little more personal than some. These two are a classic example of multigenerational construction business ownership- with a little twist.#construction #contractor #remodeling #renovation #homeimprovement #DIY #builder #architecture #constructionworker #building #homedesign #constructionindustry #tools #realestate Tue, 25 Jul 2023 14:39:24 +0000 http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/static1.squarespace.com/static/626ead1310769d706937a9a3/t/64bfde337a0b0e38cc573015/1690295947972/Gabe+Reese.mp3 http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/static1.squarespace.com/static/626ead1310769d706937a9a3/t/649c4225a0c6f879ed1eee3f/1687962223230/Live+Q%26A.mp3 Another question and answer show- this time with even more live questions!
