Zane Ellis is a Project Manager at F.E. Trainer out of Knoxville, TN—and more famously, a co-host of the LevelHeads Podcast.

This industry… the clients, the pressure, chasing money, job security—the list goes on and on. It can be a killer. Zane opens up about how it almost killed him.

Even after being told to step away from the industry, he came back. This conversation dives into how having the right support system—and everyone operating in their own lane—can completely change how enjoyable this work can be.

Zane shares his start, his journey through the trades, and ultimately what forced a “pause” in his career.

Hope you enjoy.
