About the show

The MBI EDGE Podcast is a informative conversation designed for commercial builders and their partners in the Midwest. The MBI EDGE’s mission is to E ducate, D evelop, G row and E nhance you and your company. We’re going to be discussing the Iowa legislative session, talking with industry personalities who have stories to share, grabbing safety tips and sometimes make it random with tidbits of information that we think you can only get through The MBI EDGE. Master Builders of Iowa is the recognized leader of the construction industry in the state of Iowa. Founded in 1912, MBI is one of 89 chapters of the Associated General Contractors of America , the most influential and widely respected construction association in the country.

The association provides its members with a comprehensive array of education, safety, environmental, labor, legal, professional development, and legislative services.
