Care About Your Impact
After getting a message from a former apprentice who just passed his journeyman exam, the conversation turns into a straight talk on what you owe the people coming up behind you: be a teacher, stay a student, and remember you did not get here alone. This episode is about the real impact a journeyman or master has on an apprentice’s work and life, how your attitude can either light someone up to learn or push them out of the trade, and why the industry cannot afford leaders who make the job mi...

Electricians QUIT Trashing Each Other and Build Up the Trade
The electrical community can be a force for good, or a place where we shred each other over methods, brands, and code takes. Today I’m asking us to slow down and look at why we react the way we do. ⚡ From regional practices to shop standards, many of us were trained to chase approval, apprentice to journeyman to master, and that approval loop can turn into ego. When we see a different technique (Wagos vs wirenuts, pre twist vs no pre twist, union vs non union), our reflex is to defend “our wa...

Behind the Scenes of Milwaukee’s Tool Development
Dustin talks to Jack from Milwaukee Tool about how a rough prototype tested on a busy jobsite turned into the M18 Conduit Bender, a tool built to cut scrap, speed training, and keep bends consistent across the crew. Jack explains how their team shadows real jobs, takes blunt feedback, and shapes designs around actual site conditions. He walks through why the bender stays compact, how features like angle lock and bend memory save time, and what they learned from watching crews push it to the l...

Think About Why We Do the Things We Do
In this episode, Dustin shares a humbling story about replacing a ceiling fan in a two-story entryway with a 22-foot ceiling. He explains how relying on old methods with a Baker scaffold left him feeling motion sick, unsafe, and frustrated for not choosing a better solution sooner. Reflecting on how aging changes his work, he highlights why using the safest and most efficient tools matters, even if it costs more upfront. He also discusses the responsibility of leaders to keep their crews safe...

I Fired Them Over This… Don’t Make the Same Mistake
I fired a pool company, and it wasn’t because of bad work. It was because they failed at the one thing every service professional needs to get right: follow through. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and other tradespeople lose work every day not because of their skills, but because they miss appointments, fail to communicate, and break trust with their customers. If you're in the field and trying to grow your electrical business, gain repeat clients, or build a strong reputation, this stor...
