Hey everyone, and welcome back to the Modern Electrician Podcast! 

In this episode, I sit down with Tom Howard, the VP of Customer Experience with Service Titan, to discuss their inevitable takeover of online business management throughout the trades. Now, I recorded this conversation about a year ago in the midst of COVID insanity. Shortly following this interview, I put the podcast on the shelf for a while to focus on other aspects of business. Now that we're back, I wanted to share this informative conversation with you so you can gain from Tom's knowledge and experience as an entrepreneur and to learn a little bit more about what Service Titan may be able to offer your Service Company.

Tom has a unique story and has had his ups and downs when it comes to business. He tells us all about how he overcame the tremendous challenges of taking on a large business and how he eventually became Service Titan's VP of Customer Experience. I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope you do as well.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Modern Electrician Podcast! In this episode, I sit down with Nick Bossio, @beard_picker on instagram, musician, who recently recorded and released "Time and Material," an acoustic album for and about blue collar folks like you and me. Nick is also the owner of Solid General Construction, a construction and remodeling company based in Sacramento California. Nick is full of life and has years of experience in both music and the trades. His wisdom and personality really shine through in this episode. We even get to hear some songs!

Go follow Nick on IG @beard_picker! Purchase his new album Time and Material in Apple Music or wherever you listen to music and check out his business page for Solid General Construction on Facebook.

Enjoy!

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Modern Electrician Podcast!

In this season we will bring you weekly check-in episodes (such as this one) that give you some insight into what we at Lumen Brothers Electric Company are doing week to week. We will talk about lessons we learned from the previous week. We’ll also cover any new gadgets, tech, tools and cultural elements surrounding the trade. These little weekly check-in’s are designed to be short clips that get your week started off on the right foot.

This season we will also be bringing some new segments to the podcast where we explore the code book on a project to project basis, breaking down our understanding of the NEC.

In this episode I chat with Master Electrician and owner/operator of Figueroa Electric, Kyle Figueroa. Kyle and I chat about how he got his start in the trades and the impact that a good mentor can have on an apprentice. Kyle has a ton of experience and a lot of great stories to draw examples from. If you're looking for an online mentor, look no further. Hope you enjoy the episode!

Its impossible to walk the road of mastery without a leader, especially early on in your journey. In fact, you'll encounter many leaders along your way and it will be up to you to determine what to keep and what to throw away for yourself. If you stay on the road long enough, you will become the master and your world will open up to the understanding that leading people isn't as easy as you may have envisioned. Being a leader a is challenging and never ending responsibility and not everyone nails it. But those who do will inspire you to dig down and give something your all. They'll teach you to WANT to learn and to grow. Today's guest is one of those leaders, in my opinion. Chad German of @utah_electrician fame was super fun to talk to today. Enjoy the conversation.

In this first episode, I sit down with the Utah-based electrician known on IG as Sparky Pride. This is a man who puts his all into everything he does and we dive deep into that mindset during this episode. We talk about everything from taking pride in your work to getting into the electrical trade a little later in life to the toughness needed to operate effectively in the trades. This conversation has it all and this hard-working electrician is an inspiration.

He is also a large part of an online educational group called Sparky EDU. They’re a group of talented electricians, each with a unique skill-set or focus, who post educational videos and photos of their work, in real time. Go check them out on IG today and don’t forget to check out Sparky Pride. These are the people to follow if you want to raise the bar in your career!
