A podcast that aims to break the stereotypes surrounding tradespeople and the blue-collar working class. I'd like to highlight the stories, accomplishments, and inspirations of the people behind the scenes in our society. From job site humor to parenting tips, personal monologues to interviews - a platform for the men and women who keep our lights on and our society functioning.

Had a recent experience in the Arrivals waiting area of an airport - of all places - that's made me reflect and rethink a few things. Sometimes a change in perspective is very welcome.

I got to sit down with Karla again for the third time. I love discussing world events with her and thinking about how they will affect Canadians in particular. Always enjoy these chats and I hope you will too.

Hope you enjoy listening as much as I did recording it.
