Did you miss the most exclusive industry event of the year? Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. While nothing compares to actually being at RYNOx, guests of the podcast are in for a treat. Our featured fireside chat at RYNOx 2024 had two legends – Paul Kelly of Parker & Sons, and Jonathan Bancroft of Morris-Jenkins.

Growth is the Goal

Whether you’re a smaller contractor or an operator for a 100+MM organization, there’s always something more you can learn. This growth mindset is what has propelled both Jonathan and Paul in their careers! Get involved with a best practices group, find like-minded individuals to push you and hold you accountable, and most importantly – DO something. Learning won’t do you any good if you don’t implement it.
