This week, John Talman and Luke Hansen take a break from guest interviews to share their experiences at the AHR Expo in Orlando and what makes a truly great contractor.They discuss the quirks of trade show culture and dive into a deeper discussion on why people enter the trades—whether for financial security, craftsmanship, or the satisfaction of doing the job right.

Key Takeaways:

• Trust is Everything: The best contractors aren’t just skilled—they’re reliable, honest, and follow through on their commitments.
• Why People Choose the Trades: Many get into it for the money, but stay for the pride of craftsmanship and the opportunity to serve customers with integrity.
• Trade Shows are a Goldmine: Events like AHR Expo and IBS aren’t just for networking—they’re where industry pros can learn about the latest innovations and connect with like-minded professionals.
