Luke McFadden
Overview
You’d be hard-pressed to find someone more determined than our friend Luke McFadden. A self-taught waterman and crab fisherman out of Maryland, Luke knew from as far back as he can remember that he wanted to be on the water fishing crabs. But the big problem was that he didn’t know anyone in an industry that’s traditionally a family business. Against all odds he learned the ropes to become a fulltime waterman as the captain of the F.V. Southern Girl, and runs his own YouTube channel with over 380,000 subscribers. Check out his whole story and learn what it takes to never give up on your dreams.

Customer Reviews
Interesting and well made
I work as a pipe fabricator for a large company and I am fortunate enough to be able to use headphones at work. I like hearing about other trades and to get a first person take from people who are in specific trades. I don’t know what I like more, my Brunt boots or the podcast. Thanks guys, keep ‘em coming.
Doing the Lord’s work
We need more voices like this to get the world re-dedicated to the trades!
Great Podcast
