Season 1, Episode 4 of Our Podcast Is Now Live: The Power of Relationships

We’re excited to announce that Episode 4 of our podcast series is now available for streaming! In this episode, we digitally connected with Andrew Parker and John Walsh from Boston’s Cox Engineering, which is part of the Synergy Group. You can learn more about what the Synergy Group does by clicking here. And yes, they brought their delightful Boston accents—ever heard a Bostonian say “park the car”?

This episode is aptly titled “The Power of Relationships,” a theme John passionately describes as “EVERYTHING.” Throughout our discussion, Andrew and John shared how their significant connections were formed through relationships. It’s a vivid reminder that it’s not just what you know, but who you know that counts. They emphasized that while education continues, nurturing relationships opens doors to new endeavors in both personal and professional spheres.

The conversation didn’t just stay on a professional track. It veered into personal territory as well, highlighting how business relationships often evolve into friendships. Our host, Nick Davis from MSD, INC, along with our guests, explored how the Synergy Solutions Group facilitates networking opportunities that foster these personal connections.

Moreover, the episode delved into the dynamics of teamwork. Andrew, with his experience in varying team sizes—from intimate groups to larger ensembles—discussed how diverse team structures can influence relationship building. He shared invaluable insights on leveraging every team member’s unique skills to enhance these interactions.

Andrew also stressed the importance of traditional communication in building and sustaining relationships. Picking up the phone, sending emails, engaging on social media, and connecting via LinkedIn are all practices that, according to him, are vital in today’s digital age.

We wrapped up the episode feeling enlightened and grateful for the opportunity to learn more about how Cox Engineering is not only achieving their sales goals but also mastering the art of relationship-building.

Thank you for tuning in, and don’t forget to join us for more insightful discussions in our future episodes!

WPAFB Chilled Water System

The chilled water system at a high-security building on the Air Force Base was undersized and unable to keep up with demand. The facility could not operate without chilled water due to the amount of information servers in the building, and the general nature of the building itself. The entire upgrade project would need to be completed with minimal shut down time at the building. HVAC portion of this project was over $3 million.

  • MSD worked in collaboration with Diaz Construction to complete the system upgrades on time and on budget with minimal shutdowns or disruption to the facility operations.
