Manage episode 515126716 series 3000178
We trace how a dining table mic turned into a focused blue-collar podcast and why showing up beats having perfect gear. We dig into trade careers, union vs non-union nuance, and the real time cost of making a quality show while life and work keep moving.
• origins of a three-host shop-floor show
• evolving into interviews, leadership, and growth
• audience focus on hands-on workers and learners
• time cost of editing and tools that help
• consistency over perfection and analytics
• union versus non-union debate and reactions
• reconnecting family through creative work
• trade school pathways and job placement
• AI limits versus hands-on security
• women entering the trades and future segments
• practical starter advice using only a phone
• where to find the show and contact details
