Hey, what's going on guys? It's your host, Mike Garvey with the side Hustle Squad podcast coming at you on a Thursday before Conex. We are going to Construction Expo 2026. Didn't see this coming. Kind of was a little bit something in the making over the past couple months, but we are excited to be going out there. It's only one every, it's once every three years in Las Vegas. It is I believe the biggest trade show in the world or the nation, or maybe I'm just making that up, but I believe it is. And we're, we're really excited and I'm excited to since some of you may have seen it on the social channels. Eric Triplett, the Pond Digger with the Deep End podcast and I have started the Pod House which we came up with the concept quip last year in 2025 he was staying at my Airbnb, we were doing some podcasts and I came out of my room and I said why don't we just do this as a pod house? We have Po Row which Nailer has created. Let's do Pod House. What do you think? And this is what we, what we, what we're doing. This is the pilot Pod House at con expo 2026. So you know, we developed this because we want to again get into some more conversations with other podcasters, with guests and give you the best content. We these events are loud. You can't really talk. Sometimes you're there for the equipment. You know, our first one is again Icon Expo. It's a massive construction industry, heavy equipment, robotics, techs and innovation, big giant brands, small independent contractors, a little bit of everything. And again, we're going to be looking at innovation, outdoor power, all this stuff. But then to be able to go back to our house, to Pot House, to, to this event and it's going to be a exclusive event to roughly six or Seven podcasters. We're going to be recording multiple shows. We're doing man on the street interviews at the event at Con Expo and then cutting a lot of reels, long and short form and then integrating some sponsors. So just I want you to imagine that this content that we're going to be coming out, we're going to be having, you know, morning briefings, having breakfast. Well, we're going to be recording, we're going to be coming back, doing late night stuff, doing debriefings. There's going to be microphones everywhere, there's going to be cameras everywhere, high level conversations. So I want you guys to check it out. Contractor, you know of course who it's for, Contractors, landscapers, anyone with a small business dealers brand. Other content creators were, you know, of course looking to collaborate with other podcasters, other people in the industry. So if that's something you want us to cover. While I'm out there with Conexpo, with John Pajak, with Eric Triplett, with Larry Della Santee, with Naylor Taliafera, I want you to message me. If there is a, if something you want us to talk about or hit on, message me. I want you to participate and we can come up with answers to your questions.
