I first heard of Clint Vick and his music while going through barehand school at the Lazy Q Ranch about 2 years ago. We were sitting around studying one night, listening to some tunes, and one of the fellas said, "Hey, put on some Clint Vick". Since then, I was hooked and have wanted to have him on the show. Clint is a lineman, singer and songwriter with a gift for storytelling. He's been in the industry for 20+ years and has worked all over North America doing everything from major transmission projects to helicopter line work and major disaster relief after the fires in California. Clint takes his years of experience as a lineman and puts them into his music, creating something very unique to us as line workers.

Enjoy this conversation with Clint Vick, and please go follow him and subscribe to his music on platforms like Spotify and YouTube.

Bryce contacted me with an idea to create and highlight short topics of discussion in our trade. So I said, let's jump on a podcast to talk about it and discuss how we might be able to help our industry arm itself a little better by knowing what's up with regard to safety. It's an interesting episode full of great conversation about how we may be able to better our culture in this trade. It's also going to take some level of participation from you, the audience, to kick this thing off. So have a listen and let me know what you think.

Noah was a Load Master in the United States Air Force with two tours to Afghanistan. It was the second tour that changed Noah's life and left him struggling with extreme PTSD and depression. Noah reached out to me and said "Hey Ryan, I have a pretty powerful story for veterans that I'm ready to share. Could I come on the show to talk about it?" 

His story was a powerful testament to me that you just never know who's listening and whose life you'll impact for the positive. 

I'm proud of Noah for battling hard and fighting to live. Please share this story with anyone that you feel may value it's content. Life is worth living and you're always just one decision away from a different life.

Much Love.

As linemen, we don't always get insight into how the company is managed. Perspective is everything because we often say things like "The company is making tons of money on this one" when, in fact, they probably aren't. It's often a communication breakdown between management and the line hands. Brandon has been on both sides, as a lineman and in management, so we talk about it in this episode with the hope of shedding some valuable insight for both groups. We also talk about surviving a helicopter accident and what he would do differently next time if given the opportunity.
