Blue Collar Experts
Hosted by Todd Wall and Gustavo Tapia · ENGLISH
Blue Collar Experts is a podcast hosted by Todd Wall and Gustavo Tapia. We examine the connection that turns a business into an expert. In a crowded marketplace, intentional actions and communication are the keys to helping a business stand out and be the one that is chosen by the consumer. In Blue Collar Experts we examine the connection that turns a business into an expert. We use the principle of “if it is true there, then it is true here”, to find what is working in different contexts and apply it to your business.

Bichai Construction W/ Tony Bichai
Oct 26, 202200:34:05Tap to summarizeHe has passionately been working in the construction industry for over 10 years in sunny Southern California where he grew up including working for two of the top general contractors in the nation. Gaining the experience by working on high profile projects, such as Terminal 1 at LAX Airport for Southwest Airlines and various top client tenant improvement jobs has really carved the path for him to have the ability to create his own business. Construction has always been part of his foundation as both of his uncles started their own general contracting business when they immigrated to the United States from Aswan, Egypt. Tony’s business honors his uncles as well as his parents for guiding him through every one of his trials and tribulations that he went through to get him to this monumental moment.Connect with Tony on:https://bichaiconstructioncorp.com/https://www.facebook.com/bichaiconstructionhttps://www.instagram.com/bichaiconstruction/

Life Skills Academy W/ Sandi MacCalla
Sep 7, 202200:33:52Tap to summarizeA little of where I’ve been: I’ve spent 40+ years in sales and marketing within major industries: Space Exploration, Aluminum Manufacturing, Real Estate, Transportation, Custom Clothing, and, most recently, Large-Scale Homeowners’ Association Management. In my spare time, I became a Certified Etiquette Consultant and taught kids’ classes at Macy’s Seattle & Bellevue stores on weekends. Currently I serve as the Founder/CEO of Etiquette for You and LifeSkills Academy to fulfill a long-term vision. I became passionate about teaching overlooked life skills to youth and adults to help them launch more success in their life choices. While I specialize in Etiquette/Social Intelligence, my focus includes skills I call “The Collaborative Edge.” I have discovered that “competition” is not a mindset I like as much anymore but linking up with others to solve challenges has my attention. Please let us know how our online courses at LifeSkills Academy can be the “best” for you (www.lifeskillsacademy.expert). We know there are many experts in our world, and we are honored to share discoveries that help all of us.
