About this listen

The United States of America is facing a dramatic shortage of tradespeople. We are running out of plumbers, electricians, carpenters, welders, and so many other skilled workers. Why? More people are retiring out of trades, than going into them. Yet the demand and salaries have never been higher. What is behind the trades-gap? Stigma? High schools? Parents? Ironically, trade schools? And more importantly, what can we do to fix it? Join us every other week to interview different tradespeople and start a dialogue surrounding what they do. Our goal? Simple. Make trades sexy.© 2024 Making Trades Sexy Career Success Economics

By night he’s one of the heroes many of us take for granted – rescuing kittens from trees, saving the public from flaming automobile crashes, and making breakfast for little old ladies. 

    Tune in to learn all about Tyler’s trade school experience, his heartwarming EMT/Firefighting stories, and how to fight the system – from the inside.
