Programming includes interviews with congressional leaders, Fortune 500 CEOs, educators, engineers and maintenance technicians in the US, Canada and abroad.

In 2008, Joel received the Gold Award for his column in Plant Services Magazine from the American Society of Business Publications Editors. He writes for MaintWorld Magazine out of Helsinki, Finland and contributes regularly to the Strategic Asset Management Newsletter out of Australia and Uptime Magazine out of Fort Myers, Florida.
