Today I'm taking you inside our blue collar world — what life really looks like for families in the trades.

From stereotypes and pop culture impressions to kids, schedules, running a business, and carrying the invisible load most people never see, we’re opening the curtain on what this life actually feels like day to day.

I also share a short clip from Mike Rowe’s talk at the Housecall Pro Winter Summit — where he sat down with Roland Ligtenberg, one of Housecall Pro’s co-founders. They said out loud what so many of us in the trades already know in our bones.

One day Brandon and I hope to meet Mike — maybe even bring him to Escalon to speak to high school students about skilled trades, dirty jobs, and the career paths nobody tells kids are available.

If you’re a trades family, a blue collar wife, or someone curious about this world, this one’s for you.
