KCB Boiler Room Podcast
From the After Hours to the Breakfast Clubs, host Kevin Cradock, along with his In-House Storyteller Corey Nuffer, resurrect the Boiler Room events with a hard listen to the recordings of the events. From there we pick key moments we wish we could have asked guests to say more. We’ll also record Boiler Room-adjacent episodes featuring our own team, our mill shop, and other germane content.

Designer Cory Gans approached us back in 2025 with an idea for a panel discussion that involved a focus on the service industry. It was an amazing night of discussion. We recently had him back into the Boiler but this time to talk about himself! Quickly, we learned that Cory’s father was very much like Kevin, a furniture maker, carpenter, and general contractor with a family of kids—and this is the story of Cory growing up—who would often find themselves in the shop and eventually on building sites, taking it all in. We also heard of the time that Cory had to fetch his dad’s hammer out of a harbor. All these experiences have informed Cory as he approaches both construction and design at Planeta Design Group.
As for mixtape stories, Cory is young enough where CDs were his medium, although a combination of D batteries and a very long extension cord were essentials for his lineup that ranged from Mariah Carey, Dua Lipa, Adele, and Biggie Smalls while growing up in New Jersey.
