Welcome to the Sparky Life podcast with your host, Lia Lamela! In this episode, we dive into a crucial topic that everyone should be aware of: the coming biggest recession in United States history and why construction workers and skilled trade professionals are positioned to be the ultimate survivors. We break down the economic storm, the fascinating theory of K-waves, and discuss how events and figures like Warren Buffett's cash holdings and the presidency of Donald Trump play a role.

Tune in to understand:

• Why historical cycles and market trends point towards an economic downturn.
• The significance of the Kondratiev wave (K-wave) and what past cycles tell us.
• Why the slowing housing market, inflation, and corporate layoffs are key indicators.
• The potential impact of Donald Trump's presidency on the timing and severity of the crash.
• Crucially, why construction jobs are recession-proof.
• Actionable strategies for those in the skilled trades to not just survive, but thrive during an economic downturn, including getting more certifications, building a strong network, and managing your finances wisely.

This is a must-listen for anyone in the construction industry or considering a career in the skilled trades!
