At RCC, we’re known for doing things a little differently. After all, we are in our “Making Propane Sexy” era. And that same spirit, energy, and enthusiasm runs through everything we do—including our podcast, Fuel the Conversation.
Fuel the conversation is born
It wasn’t always called that, though. Back when we launched the podcast, it actually went by Fuelcast. But the goal was always the same: keep the lines of communication open. We’ve been talking with propane companies across the industry for decades, and we wanted a way to share the insight, trends, and tips we’ve gathered with the world. Plus, we figured, why not let people know what’s happening at RCC while we’re at it? So, Fuel the Conversation was born to give our customers another way to hear from us—literally.
Our first episode was recorded live in Charlotte, North Carolina, at the NPGA Benchmarking Council meeting in October of 2022. Initially, we focused on educating RCC customers about trends in the industry and sharing updates on our software and its efficiencies. But after 15 episodes, we took a little break—things got busy at RCC (as they tend to do). During that time, we shifted our focus to monthly educational webinars for our customers, like Building Your Business and Feature Focus. These efforts opened the door for new opportunities when the podcast made its return.
Fuel the conversation’s epic comeback
In January 2024, Fuel the Conversation came back, bigger and better than ever. With a fresh format, we’ve been spotlighting big names and even bigger personalities in the propane world. We’ve been lucky enough to chat with industry legends like Mike Sheehan, former owner of Sheehan Gas, and the Brians from LP Gas Magazine—Brian Kanaba and Brian Richesson discussing topics like industry changes, the legacy of small town businesses, and more.
And the best part? We didn’t just stick to audio. We went full visual and brought the show to YouTube, so now you can see the faces behind the voices. Whether it’s live podcasts at our customer seminars or virtual episodes, we’re all about keeping the community connected.
