They unpack the influence of figures like Mike Rowe, and reflect on personal stories that helped shape thier persception of "Good Work". Whether you're new to the industry, running a crew, or just love a good story, this episode offers real talk, laughs, and inspiration that sticks.

Key Takeaways

Pride in Work Is Powerful: A job doesn't have to be glamorous to be meaningful.
The Trades Are Not a "Fallback": Careers in HVAC, roofing, and siding offer long-term financial stability, growth opportunities, and even paths to entrepreneurship.
Character Over Expedience: Doing good work—even when no one is watching—pays dividends over time, both in business and in life.
Perception Shift Is Crucial: Changing how society sees the trades is as important as solving any labor issues.
There's More Than One "Right Path": Growth doesn't always mean scaling a business. Choosing work that supports your values and life goals is valid success.
