Built on Blue-Collar

In this podcast we sit down with Gary James and talk training.

Operator training, OSHA training, leadership and all types of training.
Organizations in the construction, mining and other blue collar industries are lacking the right methods of training.

We dive into these problems, how Gary is helping in this need and how we at Eagle Eye are also diving into this issue throughout the industry.

We also of course drink some good whiskey and dive into life, our past, and other topics we are both passionate about.

Hope you enjoy.

Thanks for listening!

This episode we sat down with Brady Dominy, a Project Manager for Eddies Backhoe and Dozer Service out of the East Texas, Tyler area.

They are a small to mid sized family owned and operated earthwork contractor who is growing and going through all those similar pains as we all are as we grow.

We dive into the day operations of their company, how they became to be where they are and what types of pains they see with hiring, training and finding the right help in a smaller area. 

Listen to us go into family, time management and how to keep grinding no matter what.

Hope you enjoy.

We had the opportunity while we were in the Atlanta GA area to sit down with Kate and Brett Rieling to talk their experience in the civil industry and how cool it is to be a husband/wife in the construction field. Kate talks about the things she learns being a PM from her husband who is a superintendent. She is able to use the advise and experience from his days to help better help her supers she works with. Having that is what she calls her "secret weapon". 

There are a lot of responsibilities both on the PM side (Kate) and the Superintendent side (Brett) of the construction industry and we got to talk all about their day to day responsibilities, safety, issues and benefits. We even got to talk about Kates love for D11 dozers... Someone needs to buy Kate a D11 for her birthday. 

We even got to touch on the ever growing topic in the industry of women in construction. 

We had a blast!

While we were visiting Nashville, TX we sat down with Jacob Hinton with Rogers Group to talk about his experience in the mining industry, Why he got into it and the influence through his family.

We went into depth on the struggles the industry bears as a whole and how to attract good talent from the younger generation yet to enter the workforce.

As always we enjoyed a good glass of bourbon, this time being the Wathens Barrel Proof, bottle 82 out of 100 ever made. It was good.

In our very first episode of Built on Blue-collar, we talked with Matt Cook, Jace Young, Luke Kane and Javon Jefferson, a crew who met online and has followed each other from job to job.

We talked about their stories about how they entered the industry, where they are now, what makes them tick, social media importance and of course their best "got stuck" story.
