Ben Dubose

Welcome back to another new episode of the Rockets LaunchPod presented by Clutch Fans.

I'm Ben DuBose.

You probably know me from USA Today's Rockets Wire, Clutch Fans, Sports Talk 790, and of course this show.

We've been on hiatus the last couple of weeks because it's been the dead period on the NBA calendar.

And of course, you can follow me and Paolo, the usual host.

I'm on social media at the Dubose and Paolo is on there at PaoloAlvesNBA.

All right, with the shameless plugs complete, PR done, For Varun Shankar of the Houston Chronicle, I'm Ben Dubose of USA Today's Rocket Spire.

As always, we appreciate you so much for tuning in and listening.

Welcome in to another new AMP podcast.

My name is Ben DuBose, and I'm the news editor with the AMP Publications team.

AMP, of course, is the shorthand acronym for the Association for Materials Protection and Performance, which represents the largest global community for corrosion and coatings expertise.

Today, as we highlight that expertise, we're taking a closer look at the upcoming AMP Central Conference, which is happening from September 28th through the 30th in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The stated mission of the Central Conference is to bring corrosion prevention and industrial coatings together under one roof.

Why is that intersection so important, particularly for professionals who are dealing with assets that have large footprints, can be difficult to access, or have any number of unique operating challenges?

Yeah, thanks, Ben.

I think it's important because when you're protecting a real world asset, corrosion prevention and coatings really can't operate in separate lanes.

Welcome in to another new AMP podcast.

I'm your host, Ben DuBose, and I'm the news editor with the AMP Publications team.

As you may know, AMP is the shorthand acronym for the Association for Materials Protection and Performance, which earlier this year celebrated its five-year anniversary.

AMP is a combination of two legacy organizations, NACE International and SSPC, the Society for Protective Codings, and obviously their legacies extend out many, many decades.

And so thank you for invite me, inviting me to this podcast, Ben.

Absolutely.

Welcome aboard.

Ben Dubose here, Paolo Alves there.

Welcome in to another episode of the Rockets LaunchPod presented by Clutch Fans.

It's the final week of August, so these are definitely the dog days of summer and certainly of the NBA calendar.

We are talking Texans.

You can find us on social media.

Welcome in to another new AMP podcast.

I'm your host, Ben DuBose, and I'm the news editor with the AMP Publications team.

AMP, of course, is the shorthand acronym for the Association for Materials Protection and Performance, which earlier this year turned five years old.

Obviously, the two legacy associations go back much further than that, but here at AMP, we are officially five.

I want to start by having each of you introduce yourselves, tell us your full name and title, your employer, where you are in the world, and just broadly speaking, what your day-to-day job consists of.

Carlos, we can start with you.

Thank you, Ben.

Hello, everyone, and thank you for the invitation.

I got an internship at ESPN 975.

Uh, then I turned that into a producer role at Sports Talk 790, and then- That and, like, all the career experience up to that point, writing for the school newspaper, the internship, the Sports Talk 790 producer role, all that kinda helped me land the LOR gig, in part because I'd made, you know, I'd reached out to and connected with, uh, the podfather himself, Ben Dubose, originally.

And, uh, Ben and I, you know, stayed close, had a good, you know, working relationship.

And then when it came time for him to step away from the show, I was on the shortlist of candidates to take it over, and here we are.
