Steve Chick, Director of Preconstruction at Greek Design Build, shares the unlikely path from porta-potty bathrooms to building pharmaceutical cold storage facilities. But this episode isn't just about construction — it's about the moment Steve realized his work saved his own family's lives. When his wife needed RhoGAM injections for both their daughters due to competing blood types, he discovered the drug came from a facility he'd built. Vince Free and Jenna Free explore how Greek's 90-year developer mindset shapes everything the company builds, why mentorship and relationships matter more than product specs, and what happens when an outsider becomes part of the cold storage community. The conversation moves from the challenges of bringing new contractors into the industry to the future of refrigeration innovation — with the thread running underneath: stewardship. Cold storage isn't a commodity. It's a craft practiced by people who carry the weight of what's inside the buildings they build.❄️ Cool Takeaways:The RhoGAM Revelation — Steve built the facility that produced the medication that saved both his daughters' lives.
