  • Top Resource for Construction Professionals

    I recently appeared on Paul’s podcast and it was a pleasure meeting him, his interview style is relaxed but professional and he certainly gets to the core of the topic in hand. I have listened to several of his back catalogue and find them an excellent resource especially the AI episodes…a must listen. Most definitely a 5 star podcast
