ROCK 108 / Built By Pros Lunch - July 27 at Cargill, Cedar Rapids

Who used all the Wi-Fi?

Ah, apartment life.

Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.

Maybe 2027 deserves an upgrade.

Coming August 2027, Four Lakes Properties introduces the brand new Union Station Apartments, furnished in-unit washer and dryer.

Internet included a great central downtown location, one to five bedroom apartments, and no double occupancy fees.

That's less adulting and more actually enjoying where you live.

Union Station Apartments, now leasing from Four Lakes Properties.

Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?

We're doing first album songs and more recent cuts from the same band to see how they fared over the years.

That's Metallica from their first album, Seek and Destroy.

Here's something more recent just a few years ago.

Now that we're dead, Metallica

and Rock went away.

I'm Marshall for another Built By Pros lunch on Rock 108 and I'm with John who's the project manager of Whites Industrial and you've been out here on this site for how long now?

About

10 years now.

And what got you involved in the trades?

You know growing up a small town Iowa, Sumner Iowa, my parents owned a hardware store and so it was kind of grew up around construction and the industry and was a natural stepping stone into construction management.

What would piece of advice would you give somebody

that's new and wants to get into the trades?

I would just

say it is a great industry to get into.

A lot of variety.

Get to work with your hands, work outside, work with a great group of people on the job training with Built by Pros and the Union Trades.

Just an awesome opportunity.

John, thanks so much for

the time.

White's Industrial and the project manager with us.

The fun part about it is we're feeding two shifts of people today.

It's awesome.

We're here at the Cargill Corn Milling Plant, another Built by Pros lunch with Rock

108.

Thank you, Brian.

Back to the double shots now and then, then and now.

What do they sound like on the first album?

What do they sound like now?

Pearl Jam from the first album This Is Alive at Rock 108 Double Shot Launch.

Brian Marshall with another Built By Pros lunch with Rock 108 on site today at the Cargill corn milling plant just off of Otis Road and it's awesome because we're out here with a ton of people today.

Got a great bunch of sponsors with us.

Campbell Supply, United Rental Acme, Tool Cedar Rapids, Bank of Trust, Woodcraft Divy with Citi and on top of that Atlantic Bottling and Zio Giannos will tell you more in just a few minutes on Rock

108.

It's Brian Marshall on another Built By Pros lunch with Rock 108 and we're on the Cargill Corn Milling facility just off of Otis Road and I've got Dan who's the facility manager with us and Dan was telling me off air that you oversee over 200 people here plus.

Yeah there's functional groups as well as operations teams that are here that add up to just a little over 200.

So when you work with the trades, how does that help you in your day-to-day activity?

Yeah, it's crucial to what we do.

The partnership is we couldn't do it without them.

The partnership around safety, around productivity, around how do we manage to do the right projects at the right time at the right cost without that group we couldn't do it.

So when you have something like this where you have a bunch of people coming out for lunch like this, what does that mean to you and your team?

Yeah, it's so fun to see them and socialize with them and really just tell them thank you.

We do this frequently throughout the year just to say

Thank you for what you do.

Thank you for being safe.

Thank you for looking out for our business.

Another Built By Pros lunch, we want to thank our sponsors Campbell Supply, United Rental, Acme Tools, Cedar Rapids Bank of Trust, Woodcraft of Iowa City, Atlantic Bottling, and Zeo Jonos.

It's another lunch out here today, and we're on the Cargill Plant corn milling facility on Otis Road.
