Episode Description from the Publisher

April 18th is National Lineman Appreciation Day. This episode is for the ones who got the call at 2 in the morning. The ones who kissed their sleeping kids on the forehead and drove toward the storm.This is a solo episode, no guest, just Ryan. Short and intentional. Because some things don't need to be long. They just need to be true.Ryan draws on 15 years in the trade, responding to storms across North America and performing barehand work on energized 500kV lines, to talk about what linemen actually do, what they give up, and why the trade gets into your blood and stays there. He also speaks directly to the linemen listening, the ones who never needed a parade, but deserve to hear it said clearly: thank you.If you're a lineman, or you love one, share this.✌️SUPPORT THE PODCAST HERE ✌️ Hit up our website here: https://www.powerlinepodcast.com/📱FOLLOW THE PODCAST ON SOCIAL MEDIA📱Instagram:  ⁠@powerlinepodcastTikTok:  @powerlinepodcastYouTube: @powerlinepodcastLinkedIn:  ⁠Powerline Podcast⁠Facebook: @Powerline-PodcastX:  @PowerlinePodcstHOST: RYAN LUCASInstagram: @ryanwlucas TikTok: @ryanwlucasLinkedIn: Ryan Lucas💥INQUIRIES OR GUEST SUGGESTION💥Email: powerlinepodcast@quantaservices.com
