Construction isn’t always a one-way career. The lessons and professional experience the construction industry provides is sometimes the building blocks before another career. This is exactly the case for my guest in today’s episode, Don Martin. 

Although Don and I played baseball on the Temple University team together, both went into construction after college, both became podcast hosts, our careers turned out very different. After Don’s time in construction, he found his passion in educating, mentoring, investing, professional speaking, business coaching, and marketing specialists. In this episode, Don and I cover his background in construction, his network marketing success, and how construction helped him in his business ventures. 

Tune in to Episode 7 to learn how construction can teach lessons to grow success in all careers!
