Strong Conversations
Welcome to Strong Conversations hosted by Simpson Strong-Tie where we bring partners, colleagues, innovators and leaders together for insightful conversations. We dive into the subjects and issues that we all face — forging stronger connections and relationships along the way.
Welcome to a brand-new season of Strong Conversations—Building the Brand! This season, we’re spotlighting the entrepreneurs and leaders shaping the building industry, uncovering the grit, determination, and passion behind successful brands. Together, we’ll explore what it takes to grow a bold idea into a thriving business while fostering a culture where employees and innovation can flourish.
Episode 1: We Really Don’t Say No
We’re kicking off the Building the Brand season with “We Really Don’t Say No,” featuring Jeff Moran, co-founder and manager of RebatePros. When a friend and colleague presented him with the challenge of simplifying manufacturer rebates, Jeff embraced the opportunity and never looked back. That decision sparked the creation of RebatePros, a company driven by a clear mission: “Simplify the rebate process for homebuilders and product manufacturers while ensuring timely and accurate reporting, invoicing, and collection.” Join us as Jeff shares how his philosophy of saying “yes” transformed an idea into a thriving brand.
Women in Construction
Welcome to our podcast on Women in Construction hosted by Simpson Strong-Tie, a leading manufacturer and technology services company of engineered building products in the residential and commercial space. In this podcast we take a closer look at the women who make up the residential construction industry. We are going to have an open discussion about how we got here, what challenges us, motivates us and what makes us succeed. In each episode we will be joined by three guests to get their perspective on what it’s like to be in this field. We will talk about how women can effect change and create an environment where other women want to be a part of.
How We Got Here
In our “How We Got Here” series, we talk to leaders in the building industry about how they got to where they are. Some of us are born into the building industry. Some of us fell into it. And some of us took a few detours to find our place. Our guests share stories and insights of not only how they got here but more importantly what made them stay.
Building the Brand
In our “Building the Brand” series, we talk to leaders and entrepreneurs in the building industry about what it takes to start a venture or business and build it into a brand. We talk about taking a chance on yourself and the determination and resilience that it takes to stay the course. Our guests share with us what it means to be a heart led leader and the importance of not just building the brand but building a culture that your employees can thrive in.
