Great podcast

Just listened to the career ceiling episode. Loved hearing where you guys think you are at and the excitement you have for the next year here. Curious to know how you stay focused or if you do on the goals. Or how to pick the goals you have and leave other aspects behind?

Still look forward to this podcast every week. Excited to see where it goes.

Mondays are my favourite

Every week I look forward to Mondays to listen to the next episode of Modern Craftsmen as well as a few of my other top podcasts. As a fellow tradesman I really appreciate how the guys use their platform to broach any and all topics relating to the construction industry. A not so recent episode with Joe Kelly touched on financial literacy, a topic I think really needs to be discussed more in our industry because our time on the tools is finite and there needs to be an exit strategy. Hope this great podcast keeps on going. Thanks to Tyler and Nick and those behind the scenes for taking the time to put out great content each week.
