College doesn't promise you success. Unfortunately, for so many years, college was being glorified and trades demonized. College has always been Plan A, and trades, as the Plan B. But there is actually no need for that because there are people better suited for college, and some people better suited for trades.

In today’s episode, Kenny Blakeslee discusses the war on trades that’s been happening since the 50s and how this impacts our industry. He also talks about our industry and what we can do to bridge the gap between the workforce contractors and industry leaders in wireless telecom. 

Kenny started at the bottom, creating a company and getting in 120 employees. And he's got goals to grow much bigger than that. He has been in the industry since 2005 when he got out of the Navy. Kenny grew up with his dad who's also been in the industry climbing towers since the 90s. What was supposed to be a summer job turned out to be something he really loved and he never left since.
