When I started doing this podcast a year ago, I knew it’d give me an opportunity to meet great people in our industry. Chris Proler of PH Group down in Texas is one of those guys. We got personal, we discussed scrap, and shared some great family business stories. Good times, and I hope you enjoy this podcast.
I’m always on the hunt for knowledgable scrap people. I was lucky enough to get introduced to Nathan Fruchter of Idoru Trading. We operate in very different arenas of the scrap industry, but I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the history of the export scrap industry here in the U.S. Nathan is a scrap guy through and through, and I have a feeling you’ll enjoy this podcast!
Technology is crazy! I finally got my buddy Danny Jones, the CEO of EG Metals, to carve out some time for a podcast, while he was in Dubai of all places. We’ve done a lot of business over the years, and I always enjoy talking to this guy about life, our history, and why we both love the scrap industry. Enjoy!

I had heard about Sean Davidson through the grapevine and I became more and more curious about his scrap pricing index as I began to dig for more accurate information. In the process, I got to meet Sean and realized his passion for the scrap industry was genuine, so I asked him to sit down and tell me the story on this podcast of the Davis Index.

Check out this podcast with my brother from another mother, and an all-around great guy: Berry Prescott!
If you are going to design a new form of education in the scrap industry, you better have a strong foundation with a ton of real world experience. My buddy Brad Rudover, one of the owners of Detroit Scrap has just that, along with a cool new idea on how to engage and teach more individuals about the nuances of the scrap metal recycling industry and the products we handle every day. Listen to Brad and I discuss our personal history, how far we have come as an industry, and why we love SCRAP so much!
Bill has been living the Scrap Life for a long time, and nobody represents our industry better than this guy. Not only is he an all around good dude, he knows scrap as well as anybody I have dealt with over the years. He is part of a great company, CASS, and they are on the cutting edge of aluminum smelting in California. Thanks for listening and please leave a review if you like this podcast!

Sometimes vacation travel turns into work travel, or just the opportunity to sit down with a fellow scrap guy that you have a lot of scrap history in common with. Hank Doane from PNW Recycling came to town and we discussed scrap, life, business partnerships and his family roots in the scrap game.
