Hey there, folks. This week on The Concrete Podcast, we're exploring the heart of design and the rugged path of failure that often leads to success. Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes, well, the bear eats you. We'll be chatting about the pivotal role of design, embracing those cracks in the journey, and a fascinating look at concrete mishaps down under in Australia. Grab a seat, get comfortable, and let's take this ride together.

The Bear and the Concrete: Designing Success Through Failure

After a three-week break, we’re back—and we’ve got a full pour of insights for you. This episode of The Concrete Podcast is all about setting yourself up for success, whether you’re crafting a massive casting table, mastering the art of intentional mottling in concrete, or understanding why Design Is Every Thing. We’ll also talk about an upcoming Kodiak Pro Demo Day (a free event you won’t want to miss) and how you can support Noel Moniot’s GoFundMe. If you’re in the business of making things that last, this one’s for you.
