Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Season 9 Episode 4 - Poolside with Tim and Barb Womer
Q: How did you guys meet? Where did you get to know each other?
They describe an office meeting where their paths crossed professionally, followed by a memorable August date and a quick engagement, highlighting how their personal and professional lives became deeply intertwined.
Season 8 - Episode 4 - Sean Petterson, Supersede
Q: Do you imagine consumers adopting plastics as wood alternatives in mainstream retailers like Home Depot or Lowe's?
Yes, if scale and cost keep improving, consumer adoption could rise as plastics-based boards become a common choice due to durability, water resistance, and a longer lifespan compared to wood, with emphasis on real-world performance over green marketing.
Season 8 - Episode 4 - Sean Petterson, Supersede
Q: Now looking ahead, how do you envision the broader adoption of innovative plastics for heavy-duty sectors like marine and RV?
Sean envisions OEM-led rollout as a scalable revenue base, with products being produced in custom lengths and shipped in truckloads, followed by expansion into construction and other heavy-duty applications as the product demonstrates reliability and cost advantage. The goal is to replace wood in more builds while maintaining performance and safety.
Season 8 - Episode 4 - Sean Petterson, Supersede
Q: Better protection against rot. Can you explain how those improvements were achieved? Did you have to go through different types of recycled plastics?
The company uses a dual-extrusion process to tailor core and cap materials, selects core properties for each end-use, and aggressively tests batches in-house to optimize properties like strength, stiffness, and moisture resistance, leveraging a mix of PP-rich resins and other plastics to broaden compatibility while maintaining performance and cost.
Season 8 - Episode 4 - Sean Petterson, Supersede
Q: Sean, can you give us some background on Supersede and what brought you to founding this company?
Sean explains a journey from engineering and industrial design roots through early partnerships with co-founders, focusing on building materials that are environmentally impactful. The idea centered on replacing traditional wood-based panels with a 100% waterproof, recycled-plastic-based board — starting with marine-grade applications and expanding to residential construction and other niche uses as the product proves itself.
