Can You Be a Good Electrician AND a Good Parent?


Listen Later

It’s about what it really takes to be a present, reliable tradesperson and a present, reliable parent.

In this episode, Drake and Dustin get personal about what it means to raise kids while working full-time in the trades. Whether you're a single parent grinding through apprentice wages or navigating co-parenting and full schedules, this conversation dives into the mindset, structure, and self-awareness it takes to do both roles well, without burning out or making excuses.

They talk openly about:

  • Parenting through exhaustion without treating your kid like an afterthought
  • What showing up really looks like in both roles
  • Why transparency with your employer matters more than excuses
  • How company culture can make or break working parents
  • Leading at home and on the job by modeling respect, integrity, and follow-through

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about doing the work, being honest, staying present, and choosing to show up, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.
