Advice from a Young Tradesman

Noah brings a whole other level of insight to the trades. Greatly appreciate his insightful questions and determination to find best answers/solutions.

One of the very best interviews of Jason Paris I have listened too. Brilliant format Noah. It’s a very interesting Question: What is the ripple that Jason’s approach to domination of the otherwise assumed and uninformed population in a particular geographical market, in the un professionalized trades industry. Great question. There is a responsibility here that I don’t see being met. He is an important man. I am in Jason’s market. I find a good deal of positioning, aligning, and counterbalances taking shape,, I wish we were aligned to the same importance of it all.

Over the course of the last century, 'The Trades' have fallen into a place where they are often not as appreciated by society as they should be--until, of course, they're needed. But in fact, there is an enormous amount of craft involved in the professional trades, and they are every bit as important to the general well-being of society as any other job--if not more so. Noah Kanter's "Advice From a Young Tradesman" explores the trades, and makes a powerful and compelling case for what I like to call the emergent new Golden Age of the Trades--a long overdue evolution in the world of work. He makes a great case for entering the Trades as a career, rather than a job--and his argument is sound. This is a Podcast you want to subscribe to, no matter what you do professionally. Lots of insight here!

Noah has come out of the gate swinging in his first podcast season and put out a great collection of episodes. It’s clear that he enjoys writing, maybe as much or more than he loves painting, and he has a voice made for radio. Each episode keeps a good pace, not too fast or technical and not too slow or redundant, and each show packs a wallop of content. But the follow up novel can be a lot harder to write than the first one for anyone with the capacity to be self-critical. He’s already set a high bar for himself and I just hope that he keeps putting out episodes to see where this takes him. I’ve enjoyed the interviews with the heavy hitters as well as his personal journal entry style episodes.
