How are you doing? Oh we are just "living the dream." It should be on the diploma for anyone who ventures into the trades. What if the person who decided to dedicate their life to their trade could be viewed as a trustworthy, valuable professional capable of bringing the word "Craftsman" back into the description line of what they do? Maybe if HGTV created "Property Whores", our society would give it more notice? Tradesman Confidential aims to change the script through discussing what's happening, what's possible, and how we can help each other rewrite the narrative.

    Everyone Is To Blame

    This one gets heated... as business owners, contractors, or just general trades workers, we will all see people cross the line every day. Where do we draw the line between "we can do better" and "we need to grow up"? But when one person takes it way too far, how does that affect the trades in moving forward?

    Artificial Intelligence: The Real Possibilities

    AI is only as smart as the information it has access to. How realistic is it that we have robots building all of our houses in 10 years? How about flying cars? This is not a real-life "Terminator" or "Back to the Future". A computer and its software cannot possibly take over every job in construction (not yet, anyway).

    Suck It Up Buttercup?

    Is this really the way that we as business owners should be approaching the topic of mental health with our employees in the field? Once you put your workboots on, do you automatically get the urge to push everything to the side and "be a man"? This episode is a calm, cool, and collected approach to a taboo topic. Changing the stigma around the trades also means changing the stigma around mental health in the trades, so let's talk about it.
