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.

Well, we're moved in to the new place and new province! As moved in as you could be within three days anyway. This one's all about changes in life, and more importantly - focusing on what you can actually change in any given situation. Spoiler alert: it ain't a whole lot, but it is the most important factor.

I am joined once again by Karla to discuss the ongoing Canadian response to the pandemic. From continually tightening lockdowns to extremely concerning court rulings, and a whole lot in between - who or what is to blame? The virus? The unvaccinated? Or the governments’ response to the virus?
