I had the privilege of having @Dan_treeclimber on the show and we talked about a bunch of different topics. We talked about some crane work, we talked about how the same variety of tree can differ, depending on the growing season, and geography of where it’s growing, and we also talked about rethinking your crew strategy, so that work can be done more efficiently.

In this episode I discuss the concept of if Old School/Traditional design equals outdated and useless. We talk Tree Climbing saddles like the Weaver Arborist WLC-700 and others, as well as, tools that Tree climbers and tree services use in the trade daily. 

Here's my take on it. Please let me know what you think!

Marketing is big business because it affects people. That’s the reality of it. I am myself, and getting more and more into marketing for the arborist industry and appreciate how powerful that can be. Still, marketing also can create situations where we do things, think about things, and decide, What is best for our companies in our efforts while really not being as beneficial as we might’ve thought. While I do think that innovation and marketing has a important role in helping people, I do think that it also influences people to do things that they don’t really need to do at times. So, in this episode, we’re gonna talk about what Ryan Ferro, Levi Woodall, and myself discussed one afternoon and see exactly how this comes about. We’re also going to talk a few minutes about reanalyzing in evaluating what we’re doing. This is just the first part of a much deeper and much more complex conversation that elevated office podcast will be having with these very cool people that I had the opportunity to speak with. Keep an eye out for future episodes on these topics.

No matter how long we’ve been in the industry or been climbing trees, no matter how much experience we have a house. Skilled we are in our climbing techniques and refilling processes, there will be a time when we confront a situation that puts us on edge. This happened to me recently for the first time in quite a while. This situation created anxiety stress, and even a little bit of fear that I haven’t felt in sometime in a tree. Because of this, I made decisions in a rushed manner, knowing full well that they weren’t the wisest. However, because all I could think of was how sketchy the trees were, and how much I wanted to get out of them and have the job done, I ignored, obvious signs of poor quality, cutting procedure, and chose to take risk that if I had just taken control of my emotions and thoughts in that moment, I wouldn’t have done. So this episode is explaining the conditions and the situation in which I was working as well as talking about why these decisions made me reevaluate and meditate on my need to continue to work on finding and taking control of situations where stress, anxiety and mental exhaustion are wearing on me. Hopefully this helps you out as well.
