Facilities, People, and the Power of Connection

In this episode of My Facility Podcast, we’re joined by legendary FM podcaster Mike Petrusky, host of the Asset Champion and Workplace Innovator podcasts, along with Maureen Roskoski for a wide-ranging conversation about facilities, people, and what really matters in the built environment. We talk about how much has changed in facilities management and how many of the core challenges remain the same. From helping facility managers find their voice, to communicating how buildings directly impact comfort, safety, and productivity, this conversation comes back to one thing: people. Plus, Mike shares his perspective on technology, AI, and why these tools should be embraced as enhancements. and not replacements, as the industry evolves. With a little nostalgia and a lot of insight, this episode looks ahead to 2026 and the importance of connection, engagement, and community in shaping the future of facilities management.
