Dana reflects on safety practices for working at heights, the financial rewards of skilled labor, and the positive ripple effect tradespeople have on their communities. He also speaks to the physical demands of the work, the tight-knit camaraderie among crews, and the responsibility of mentoring the next generation. Finally, Dana shares lessons on resilience and personal growth, including insights from writing his own parenting book.
