In this episode, Trey and Matt dive into one of the most overlooked skills in the trades: professionalism.
Everyone talks about work ethic. Everyone talks about skill.
But nobody talks about the one thing that actually gets you promoted from the field to the office:
➡️ How you present yourself.
We break down why the way you show up — your communication, your attitude, your appearance, your consistency — says more about your future than how many boards you can cut or pilings you can set.
We cover:
• Why some guys get promoted even if they aren’t the most skilled
• How to represent yourself like a leader (even before you are one)
• The daily habits that make your boss trust you with more
• The mistakes that silently kill promotions
• Why professionalism matters more in the next generation of blue-collar work
• How small improvements create massive opportunities
If you’re in the trades, on a crew, or working your way up and wondering,
“How do I take the next step?”
…this episode lays out the roadmap.
Because in 2025 and beyond, you don’t just need to be good with tools —
you need to carry yourself like someone who can represent a company.
