Here Comes The Next Generation (Getting Licensed, Starting A Business & Navigating The World of Social Media with Cameron, the Tennessee Electrician

59 minutes

Change is inevitable. Whether we like it or not, everything we experience in our day to day life will change. Our jobs will change. We'll develop new friendships and shed old ones. Our taste for food, art and entertainment will change. So it's not crazy to imagine that the way we've always done something within our industry will eventually change too. Today's conversation is with Cameron Vogelsang, better known as Tennessee Electrician. Cameron is part of the next generation of electricians and trade workers entering the workforce today. He's young, understands technology and is very polite... so you can only imagine that he's gonna ruffle a few feathers on his way through.

We first noticed Cameron online when he posted a series of videos and photos which sparked an online debate around one very small, yet detailed rule. The online debates got a bit carried away and shed some light on how we can let ourselves be very ugly to people online. We get into that more toward the end of this conversation but we really wanted to touch base with Cameron because he just passed a licensing exam which allows him to work for himself. We wanted to chat with him about the test, what it was like and what he can do with the license in his area. We also talk about the goods, the bads and the pitfalls of starting your own trade company.

We think you're really gonna like this one but let's be honest... we typically think that about all of these eps, so...

Enjoy!
