  How Former SpaceX Engineers Are Turning Grass into Carbon-Negative Structural Panels

  Sep 2, 202625 minS10

  On this episode, Nathan Silvernail joins the show. He is the co-founder and CEO of Plantd —a company reimagining how structural building materials are manufactured. Before launching Plantd, Nathan spent nearly a decade at SpaceX, where he helped develop advanced manufacturing systems for the Crew Dragon spacecraft. He is now applying that same engineering mindset to one of the world's oldest and most resource-intensive industries: construction. Plantd has developed a process that transforms fast-growing perennial grass into high-performance structural panels designed to compete directly with conventional wood-based products such as OSB. Using an automated, modular, all-electric manufacturing system, the company aims to produce building materials that are stronger, more moisture-resistant, and better for the environment. We'll talk with Nathan about the technology behind these grass-based panels and Plantd's vision for creating a new generation of sustainable composite materials.

  CAMX Is Coming: How to Turn Trade Show Traffic into Real Business

  Aug 28, 202625 minS10

  With CAMX just a few weeks away, it's a perfect time to revisit one of our previous conversations with Daniel Murphy of Alcove Media on a topic that every exhibitor should be thinking about: how do you actually generate business from a trade show? Many companies invest tens of thousands of dollars exhibiting at events, but simply showing up with a great-looking booth doesn't guarantee a return. On this episode, we'll discuss how companies can be much more strategic about their trade show investment.
