After getting a message from a former apprentice who just passed his journeyman exam, the conversation turns into a straight talk on what you owe the people coming up behind you: be a teacher, stay a student, and remember you did not get here alone. This episode is about the real impact a journeyman or master has on an apprentice’s work and life, how your attitude can either light someone up to learn or push them out of the trade, and why the industry cannot afford leaders who make the job miserable when we need thousands of new electricians every year. You will also hear why teaching sharpens your own craft and a practical challenge to actually get to know your apprentices, even if that starts with buying lunch and asking real questions.
