Also on this week’s show we discuss  x-ray vision, first-person modeling, AI, and more!

We Interviewed: Mark Fly

Day Job: Customer Service Director, SmartBid

Fun Fact: Played in a country band prior to jumping into construction.

Resume: Kicked off his career in residential construction in California and “literally worked his way up through the trenches.” Moved to Texas in 2004 before striking out on his own with on-screen take-off. An introduction with James Benham years later led to perfect fit at SmartBid!
