001: Bridging the Gap and Pursuing Personal Excellence to Advance Our Industry
Tower technicians have been perceived as second-class citizens. They’re called names like crazy, cowboys, tower dogs, and all other labels you could throw that do partly contribute to low morale.
Climbing 300, 400, or 1,200 feet daily is no joke. They’re called crazy for a reason. After all, no one else dares to throw themselves in dangerous situations daily. The fact that everyone in our society depends on the work of these courageous individuals in order to call, text, email, access google & youtube, or even make social media posts should earn them some respect. The least people could give them is a decent amount of respect. They deserve to be celebrated – and that’s what this podcast is here for!
Welcome to this first episode of Tower Technicians, a podcast dedicated to bridging the gap in the communications infrastructure industry that exists between industry leaders, contractors, and the workforce.
On this show, we're going to feature people in this industry – from those that work for carriers, tower owners, and OEMs, to engineering firms, turfing contractors, subcontractors, and specialty contractors. We will also feature people who represent the workforce from civil technicians and electrical technicians to underground technicians, and of course, tower technicians. We will interview guests on job sites and climb towers to do these interviews. We will go where everyone is.
And if you’re wondering about why this podcast is named as such, then you’d have to listen in to find out!
Show Highlights:
- Issues and challenges in the workforce that need to be addressed
- The three main groups that make up the communications infrastructure industry
- Matrix pricing and why it doesn’t work for everyone else
Subcontractors vs. turfing contractors - Some problems that the bottom-of-the-barrel contractors are causing the industry
- Getting out of the entitlement mindset among tower technicians
- Building your personal excellence is the ultimate rebellion.
