The Texas Aggregates & Concrete Association (TACA) launched a podcast called “TACA Talks.”

“TACA Talks” is co-hosted by Josh Leftwich, president and CEO of TACA, and Rick Kolster, dean of the Emerging Leaders Academy and founder of Peak Performance Group. According to TACA, the podcast will highlight industry news, best practices and candid discussions about the aggregate, concrete, cement and associated industries in Texas.

“I look forward to using ‘TACA Talks’ as yet another tool to connect our members and to help educate other audiences on the important work we do and on how the industry contributes to our high quality of life,” Leftwich says. “The industry is essential to building the state’s infrastructure, and there are a lot of stories and issues surrounding this need. We aim to provide a platform to share that news and to have a robust discussion about the successes and challenges.”

The first episode, which debuted on Jan. 19, focused on Leftwich’s role and responsibilities as TACA’s president and CEO. According to the association, additional topics that will be explored include:

• Current and proposed legislation and regulation

• Profiles of company owners and industry leaders

The podcast is hosted on Spreaker, and is available on all major podcast outlets, including iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, Google, Amazon Music podcast and Castbox, the association says.

“I am thrilled to help TACA with this exciting new endeavor,” Kolster says. “The opportunity to connect with both industry professionals and the public on the value and mission of TACA will help change the face of the aggregate, concrete and cement industries in Texas.”
