episode Shortage of Workers or Shortage of Skill? cover

Shortage of Workers or Shortage of Skill?

Shortage of workers or shortage of skill? On this episode of Trade Life Podcast, the guys pour a Carlsberg and dig into the skilled trades shortage from every angle: the stigma that's followed contractors for decades, the guidance counselors who steered kids away from the trades, the gap between 100 job applicants and zero qualified hires, and why post-secondary education shouldn't be the automatic next step after high school. Expect honest stories, a few tangents, and a clear message by the end: don't sleep on the trades, or you'll get slept. In this episode: * Why "shortage" might be the wrong word * The stigma problem and where it came from * Education pathways that fail tradespeople (and everyone else) * Why trades should be the default - and college the exception * Empowering the next generation to try a trade 👍 Like, subscribe, and share if this hit home.

episode The Entrepreneur's Mindset: Failure, Grit, and Knowing When to Quit cover

The Entrepreneur's Mindset: Failure, Grit, and Knowing When to Quit

In this episode, we get real about what it actually takes to build something — from surviving six weeks without a paycheck to nearly going bankrupt with 30 carpenters on staff. We break down the entrepreneurial mindset: personal accountability, pushing through the hard times, knowing when to cut your losses, and why the fear of failure might actually be your biggest driver. Whether you're running a crew, starting your own business, or just trying to level up — this one's for you. 🔑 Topics covered: * Why "winning or learning" beats "winning or losing" * The real reason high achievers do uncomfortable things * How to know when to push through vs. when to walk away * Why your habits (fitness, health) predict your success in business * Choosing your hard now so life gets easier later

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
