Long-form interview with Murphy O'Neal on the Yarns with Andy podcast. The conversation covers the path from the family construction business in the United States, through three decades of environmental compliance work, to the patent that became the Anyplace modular building system.

The episode talks through the Design for Industrialization (DfIND) framework that distinguishes Anyplace from conventional Design for Manufacture and Assembly approaches, the case for low-carbon aluminum as the right answer to the materials question, and what it has taken to keep the system going through a decade of self-funded research and development.

Yarns with Andy is a New Zealand podcast hosted by Andy. The Anyplace conversation appears as Episode 19, with a follow-up appearance in Episode 41.
