## Resource

In this episode we are joined by Joshua Gregory, VP at Alston Construction, and friend of Adam Cooper since high school. They draw from their respective experiences in the world of construction to talk about the divide between pre-construction estimation and post-launch operations, and the reasons one may want to appreciate both sides no matter which side one works on.
