## Resource

In Episode 57 of The Building with Metal Podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking with Jeff Henry, Executive Director of the Metal Construction Association. Together, we explore the evolution of metal construction and its growing role in sustainable building practices. From its humble origins in agricultural structures to its widespread application in commercial and residential projects, we discuss how metal materials provide durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic flexibility. Jeff shares insights on the importance of installer education, the future of metal products, and the industry's shift towards sustainability. Join us to understand why metal is not just a trend, but the future of construction.
