Jared Ledford

I’m Jared Ledford, managing-host of The Steel Kings Podcast — a show dedicated to real conversations with the people shaping the shed, steel, and post-frame industries. I’m also Co-Owner and Director of Operations at Dayton Barns & All-Steel Buildings and Co-Founder of Five Rivers Pole Barns, where I work every day with builders, dealers, and manufacturers across the country.

On The Steel Kings Podcast, my goal is simple: to highlight the voices that move this industry forward. Each episode dives into business, leadership, marketing, and personal stories that inspire growth and connection. Whether you’re a manufacturer, dealer, entrepreneur, or industry innovator, I’d love to have you on to share your story and insights with our audience.

When I’m not recording or building, you’ll find me active in my community here in Brookville, Ohio — serving as a City Councilman, and on Park Board and Chamber of Commerce, raising three daughters, and always looking for ways to help local businesses grow.
