People, Process, And Purpose In A Tech-Shifting Industry: Rick Cross, Account Executive at Paradigm
Fresh off the GlassBuild floor, we dig into the real story behind AI, sales momentum, and the future of windows, doors, and glass. Industry veteran Rick Cross, Account Executive at Paradigm, joins us to separate signal from noise, arguing that the biggest wins don’t come from shiny tools, but from teams that trust each other and processes built to carry weight.

The Captains of Industry: How to keep it fun
Here’s what I love about Graham Funke and Stone Rokk: They’re great DJs, even if sometimes I don’t like the selection. “I play bad music well,” Graham says. They don’t take themselves too seriously, even when being outspoken and controversial. "I have a bit of a sociopath streak in me,” Stone Rokk tells me. Although they may not want to admit it, they obviously love the game. From painstaking attention to detail in the studio to creative marketing ideas to an upcoming book about their adventures in Hollywood and around the world. The Captains of Industry are a great ex...
