What They Never Told You About the Trades

The trades have a reputation problem. And for a long time, construction was the industry you ended up in, not the one you chose. Carlos Rodriguez, owner of Mr. Roofing out of California, knows that story firsthand. Carlos grew up watching his father build a roofing business from the ground up after immigrating from Mexico. He spent summers on tear-off crews as a teenager, went to UC Berkeley, worked in corporate, and eventually came back to take the family business to a level his dad never imagined. In this episode, he and Paul break down what it actually takes to run a construction company, why the stigma around trades is still real but slowly changing, and what young people are missing when they overlook this industry. We discuss: * The stigma roofing inherited and why it is finally starting to shift * Growing up in the family business and what his dad's approach taught him * What he looks for when hiring * The looming labor shortage * How to make the trades look as cool as they actually are * His advice to every high schooler figuring out what comes next Want to bring more young talent into construction? Let's talk.
