    Wood Box Tunneling & Live Sewer Rehab w/ Keegan Jonkers

    Talkin' S#!T is where the people behind construction, wastewater, infrastructure, and the industries that keep the world moving come to talk about what's really going on. From the jobsite to the office, we're having the conversations you don't always hear at the conference table, talking with contractors, operators, manufacturers, leaders, and industry characters about the work, the people, the challenges, and the wins. On this episode, host Daryl Rocheleau sits down with Keegan Jonkers of Circle C Construction out of Fort Worth, Texas. Keegan has worked his way up from the field to project manager at his family's utility construction company, which has carved out a niche doing the jobs most contractors won't touch: live sewer rehab in tight backyards and easements. Daryl and Keegan get into the lost art of wood box hand tunneling (yes, digging with spades and timbers, still happening today), what it's like crawling hundreds of feet through a 42-inch bore, salvaging century-old brick streets in historic Fort Worth, and why keeping crews local beats chasing jobs across the state. They also talk about finding the next generation of tradespeople, working with municipalities and engineers, and why staying calm beats yelling every time. If you work in the industry, work with the industry, or just want to understand the people who keep it running, you're in the right place.

    20 Years of Lessons from the Trench w/ Rob Mayville

    Talkin' S#!T is where the people behind construction, wastewater, infrastructure, and the industries that keep the world moving come to talk about what's really going on. From the jobsite to the office, we're having the conversations you don't always hear at the conference table, talking with contractors, operators, manufacturers, leaders, and industry characters about the work, the people, the challenges, and the wins.  On this episode, host Daryl Rocheleau sits down with Rob Mayville, a 20-year veteran who's done just about every job in the industry, from apprentice operator to running sheet piling crews on projects across the country. Rob and Daryl get into the mentors who shaped his career, some of the wildest jobs he's worked, and what it actually takes to become employable and earn respect on a crew that doesn't want to listen to "the young guy." If you work in the industry, work with the industry, or just want to understand the people who keep it running, you're in the right place.
