The DYOJO Podcast conducted an interview with Ed Cross which also uncovered aspects of the development of IICRC Standards as well as the evolution of the Restoration Industry Association (RIA).

This interview goes into the last 25 years of Ed's involvement with advocating for property restoration contractors and his pivotal role in the formation and momentum of the RIA's AGA Committee. The episode is titled, "A History of Collaboration, a Future of Advocacy" and is accompanied by an article in Restoration and Remediation Magazine (R&R) by the same name. 

Highlights include:
  • How the restoration industry owes a debt of gratitude to Alice Cooper
  • The four names of the Restoration Industry Association (RIA), including one rather unfortunate acronym
  • Legal issues for restoration contractors in the era of "Mold is Gold"
  • Early standardization efforts of the IICRC and the ASCR
  • Some of the key personalities in the evolution of restoration and remediation
  • Mark Springer's manifesto, "Our Greatest Need"
  • RIA's pivot to focusing on advocacy ​
