Exploring Blue Collar Life: From Farm to Foundry with Jason Haines

Jason Haines shares how his journey from working on his grandpa's farm to thriving at a bustling foundry brings a warm sense of nostalgia, a spark of camaraderie that we believe resonates deeply within the blue-collar community.

Building on the growth of the manufacturing industry over the past decade, Jason provides an incredibly insightful look into the evolving dynamics between the older and younger generations. Trade schools are the bridge, their role increasing in importance as we strive to make the industry more appealing to Gen Zers. 

Highlights:

3:25 - Jason’s start into blue-collar work and how sometimes you need to try things before you decide they will work for you. 

8:31 - How showing respect and doing little things as a leader will make your team work together better. 

6:05 - How not promoting trade school is also impacting the future of blue-collar work.

10:39 - How you should always learn to network even within niche industries.
