Fully Threaded Radio, Internet Radio for the fastener industry and the voice of the FCH Sourcing Network, has been released "Episode #45 - In the Money". See www.fullythreaded.com to download or stream the latest edition of the show the fastener industry is talking about.

To finish in the money, you need the people, resources and network connections it takes to compete at the highest level. Fastener associations provide many opportunities to bring all the ingredients together. Joe Peplinski, of Beacon Fasteners & Components, explains how success in the fastener business is much like placing in a bass tournament. Pacific Warehouse Sales partner, Kelly Lehman, demonstrates this principle on the golf course, during the 3rd annual Mel Kirsner Memorial Golf Tournament (25:16). Then, NFDA Spring Conference attendees, including incoming president, Jay Queenin, along with Don Haggerty, Robbie Gilchrist, and others, discuss their thoughts on this year's hugely successful event and the direction of the organization (77:29). Also, FTI editor, Mike McNulty, and Holden Lewis present the April FDI survey results, and focus on the numbers and what they mean for fastener distributors (41:43). Hosts Brian Musker and Eric Dudas consider communist propaganda and the epics of Homer. Eric ponders bass fishing, while Brian angles for invitations. Run time: 01:41:12
