In this episode of Level Up, Addison Wiggin and Desmond Stinnie sit down with Mikhail Reece, a passionate advocate for trade careers and founder of the “Trades, Tech & the Next Generation” initiative. From organizing high-impact community events in Tampa to launching scholarships and leveraging social media, Mikhail is on a mission to redefine how young people see vocational paths. Together, they explore how hands-on skills, cutting-edge technology, and community storytelling can challenge the college-only mindset—and open doors to financial independence.

If you’ve ever wondered how the trades can shape the future, this conversation will inspire you to think bigger about tomorrow’s opportunities.
