Modern Craftsman is more than just a podcast. It’s a community. A hub for those in this industry to promote excellence, education, knowledge and respect. To share what they’ve done right and what they’ve done wrong. To talk about building, life, leadership, mental health and everything in between. And we want to partner with vendors, brands and people that share the same goals: to make people better, to make the industry better and to advocate for a better life in the trades.

I thought I posted this one a long time ago, but it is still sitting here and Apple won’t let me delete it, so here you go:
My favorite one so far. Paul is inspiring. First, thank you for making business about more than money. Totally agree. Second, I love Paul’s take on the craft. I share his view. I’m a Christian, so that affects a lot of my thought life. As he spoke, I thought a lot about how God works in people. He doesn’t make us perfect according to the common understanding of that word. He makes us perfect for our purpose in this life. We are His craft and we are to imitate Him in our craft. If you would, listen to that part again, but imagine God talking about how He works in people instead of Paul’s relationship to wood. I have no doubt that I sound like a crazy person to more people than not, but I hope someone can relate. I could ramble on, but let me keep it simple. Thank you guys for the podcast. Keep it up!
Great helpful and very informative!
Appreciate all the content y’all put out. As a small business owner I learn a lot and am glad to have found likeminded contractors that are selling more than just a job! I’m an electrical contractor building a business based on experience and a higher end over product and service etc.
