Episode 2: Inside the Scrap Market, Smarter Field Ops and NDA’s Workforce Toolbox

In this episode of Demo Dispatch, host Alexa Schlosser is joined by NDA volunteers who are helping shape the future of demolition. First, Dane Zumbahlen from the Member Growth Committee presents The Rundown (00:25), spotlighting NDA news, Demolition Phoenix 2026 fundraising events and Demo Dialogues, plus a clear-eyed snapshot of the current scrap metal market and what contractors should watch over the next 30-60 days. In From the Field (6:00), Roni Szigeti of FieldFlo shares a hard lesson from a major project that went off the rails—and how better communication loops, real-time data and right-sized technology can prevent schedule slips, budget blowouts and damaged client relationships. Finally, in the Member Conversation (18:49), NDA board member Blake Svendsen walks through the new Workforce Development Toolbox — including standardized job descriptions, pre-apprenticeship guidance, mentoring frameworks, education pathways and certification — plus how NDA is working toward career mapping and future company accreditation to raise professionalism across the industry.
