Questions & Answers with Brian T. Frederiksen

Episode Summary

In this episode, Brian T. Frederiksen addresses questions about the new direction of My Fence Life and whether the show’s hosting transition is an FWA-driven move. He explains that while the podcast is not formally owned by FWA, his deep connection to the organization means it will naturally remain closely tied to the broader fence industry. He emphasizes that his goal is to support the entire trade, from small one-truck operations to large multi-truck companies, and to promote unity across associations, events, magazines, software companies, and podcasts rather than treating them as rivals. Brian also highlights the importance of industry growth and collaboration, noting that the fence world cannot afford to stay stagnant. He encourages support for upcoming events and shows, including FWA-related health initiatives, the West Coast Fence Show, WASA, Fence Tech, and others. He then shares a key podcast update: the first official My Fence Life episode under the new format will air Wednesday with Jared Twist. He closes by urging listeners to follow, like, and share the show so it can reach more of the fence and gate community.
