Top 10 Coffee Conversations

By Cass Jacoby, RCS Reporter.  

We count down the Coffee Conversations you won’t want to miss! 

The Coffee Conversations podcast from RoofersCoffeeShop® invites you to pour a cup of coffee and sit with experts for conversations about what is top of mind for roofing contractors and the overall roofing industry right now. Held during every other Thursday morning a month (6 a.m. PT), the team at RCS video chats with the roofing industry and leading professionals in a Q&A format, welcoming you to pull up a chair and learn from a variety of business and industry experts  

This season saw a lot of interest in new recruiting strategies, specifically when it comes to top the next generation. Three of our top five most listened to episodes focused on learning how to recruit, retain and capture the interest of the future workforce. Our most listened to podcast specifically addresses the importance of creating opportunities for women and minorities in roofing as a part of recruitment for the next generation of roofers. 

A couple of the top ten episodes celebrate all the good deeds done in the roofing industry, focusing on giving back through roofing foundations, veterans within the industry and highlighting how charity and care for others are at the core of the roofing industry. 

In line with those values, a few episodes centered on topics like healthcare and meeting with congressional representatives for Roofing Day in D.C. to discuss top issues facing the roofing industry, including career and technical education, inclusion of buildings with infrastructure spending legislation and immigration reform. 

You also won’t want to miss out on business insights from leaders of the industry regarding technology and what the first quarter of 2021 tells us about finding light at the end of the COVID-19 tunnel.
