The shed sessions continue! This episode is an extremely deep dive into the singular task of setting up a payroll system that includes Pay-as-You-Go Workers' Compensation. This is the singular resource I would have loved to have as I did it last year. If you're not interested in this very specific thing, this will likely be painful. You've been warned, and enjoy!

Consider this Noah's initial response to COVID and his take on the new reality and his place within it. He thinks this one could be especially useful to the solo operators or small shops, but he hopes that everyone can pull some value from this wide ranging monologue.

Noah decided to do something different - he wrote a rough outline and just went with his first take. It's not highly produced, it's not super neat, but he think it's jam packed with information that could help right now so he just wanted to get it out.

Nick Slavik owns Nick Slavik Painting and Restoration in New Prague, MN, hosts a weekly Ask-A-Painter show on Facebook that Noah would liken to This Old House, and presents masters classes at trade shows and conferences. He forgot to ask if he ever sleeps.

Noah kicked off this series with Episode 5, The Craftsmanship Trap, and that episode explored the push and pull between craft and process. You heard from Nick May on process in the last episode, and in this one Noah was thrilled to dive into where craftsmanship fits into scale. Nick Slavik has given this a ton of thought and his perspective is invaluable here.

Let's call this one Noah's manifesto. It's an exploration of an effect that he'll call the Craftsmanship Trap, the thing that keeps many of us in the weeds rather than building businesses. He's emerging from this mindset right now, and he believes it's worthwhile to talk about how it's affecting the industry as a whole.

You'll hear from Nick May and Nick Slavik in this interview as well, and their entire interviews are available as episodes 6 and 7, respectively.

Advice from a Young Tradesman welcomes the show's first formal interview guest! Jared Wise, CEO of GoGetter, joins for a conversation about their new platform and the state of the trades.

GoGetter is an online community for students, employees, educators, and businesses within the skilled trades. GoGetter aims to become a network that connects all of these dots - the closest comparison is probably LinkedIn. GoGetter is also developing a career education component.

They had recently rolled out their website, and Noah talked with Jared about how this project transpired, what it looks like now, and their ambitions for the future.
