In the first episode of 'From the Ground Up,' the host welcomes Joey, CEO of Emmett, to discuss Emmett's transformative role in the steel distribution industry. Emmett is a tech-enabled steel distributor changing how steel moves from mills to end users by incorporating advanced technology into the distribution process.

The conversation explores Joey's unexpected entry into the steel industry, the current inefficiencies plaguing steel distribution, and how Emmett intends to solve these problems through digital innovation. The discussion also covers the geopolitical aspects of U.S. Steel possibly being acquired by a Japanese company and the need for America to re-industrialize.

Finally, the conversation touches on the importance of digitization across the supply chain, including using blockchain for transparency and efficiency. Joey elaborates on Emmett's mission to drive re-industrialization in America and how their technology can bring value to manufacturers. The script ends with options for listeners to learn more about Emmett and emphasizes the importance of building relationships in the industry.
