Recorded live at CSI 2025 in Cleveland, this episode of What the RFI brings together Dean Moilanen (Noble Company) and Holly Gotfredson (Finishing Dynamics & American Metalcraft) for a conversation that hits every note, literally.

Host Matt Brennan dives into the state of the construction industry, optimism returning to projects post-pandemic, and the lessons learned from unforgettable RFI horror stories. Dean and Holly share their experiences across Division 7 and 9, discuss the importance of communication, collaboration, and trust, and highlight how creative fabrication and custom design continue to shape the built environment.

The episode ends on a high note…. literally with the first live musical performance ever recorded on What the RFI, featuring a soulful rendition of Tennessee Whiskey and Ring of Fire.
