Deck Specialist is proud to launch our official podcast—a new platform for conversations with builders, designers, and leaders who are shaping the future of outdoor living.
In each episode, we’ll go beyond the boards to explore the ideas, projects, and personal stories that drive this industry forward. Whether you’re on the jobsite, behind the design table, or planning your next big build, the Deck Specialist podcast is your new go-to source for insight and inspiration.
We’re kicking off the series with a special guest: Rob Van Winkle, better known as Vanilla Ice.
You know him as a chart-topping artist from the ’90s, but over the past 30 years, Rob has reinvented himself as a luxury builder, real estate investor, and TV personality through his hit show The Vanilla Ice Project. In this episode, he shares:
- How he transitioned from touring to transforming homes
- What builders can learn about leadership, mindset, and customer experience
- Why he believes outdoor spaces are the heart of the modern home
- How he built a trusted crew—and why he calls them “ninjas”
The interview is packed with personal stories, business advice, and a healthy dose of humor—all delivered in true Vanilla Ice style.
Episode One drops July 15 on all major podcast platforms. Click here to listen.
