Watch Episode 001: Don’t Get Shocked by the Electrification of our Industry

The podcast’s first episode focuses on electrification — a movement toward reducing carbon by restricting the use of natural gas in commercial foodservice applications. Some cities are looking to eliminate natural gas or gas-powered commercial appliances altogether. Electrification affects customers, dealers, manufacturing, and rep groups, so it is quite relevant to the industry today. Hear the differing perspectives, the current and future impact on your business, and how to navigate the coming changes.
