Powerline Podcast

Inspiration is the word that instantly comes to mind after hearing Daniel's story. Once upon a time, he was 300 lbs and addicted to alcohol. Sober and well on his way to becoming a healthy man, he was involved in an electrical flashover while working in a vault in Hollywood. The incident left his face severely burned, with a long road to recovery staring back at him. This could send even the strongest of men back into a downward spiral, but not Daniel. He recovered stronger than ever. As I said, inspiration is the word that comes to mind. Daniel is now healthier than ever with a strong, fit body and clear mind ready to help others master their own mindset.

Mackenzie Gillan is a lineman apprentice from Ontario, Canada. I recently met her in person at the International Lineman’s Rodeo, where she cleaned house, taking home three awards in the apprentice category. I’ve followed Mackenzie for the last couple of years, and one thing that I’ve noticed is that very few people outwork her, and I believe this is what sets her apart. Enjoy the conversation.

This is way more than just a podcast about tools, though we do dive into that. Mike and Steve have led interesting lives. Mike is from Texas and grew up with a passion for music, and Steve is an East Coast-born and raised US Army veteran. Both of these guys open up to me, sharing their stories and lessons learned in life. We also go in-depth about the history of Milwaukee Tool and the things Milwaukee has done to put itself on top of the tooling industry. You definitely don’t want to miss this one! Oh, and p.s., we had a ton of fun and lots of laughs.

In this episode, I’m joined by a panel of industry professionals to answer a variety of frequently asked questions about how a veteran can transition from active duty to a career as a power lineman.

Following this panel discussion are testimonies from four veterans who have just recently entered the Veteran Electrical Entry Program (VEEP) and are well on their way to a career in the power line trade.

Joining me on the panel are Robbie Foxen, Executive Director, Missouri Valley Line Constructors Apprenticeship; David Ball, Quanta Services, Director Quanta Electrical Line Worker Program; Kevin Castle, American Line Builders Area Joint Apprenticeship; and Jason Iannelli, Electrical Training Alliance Director of Outside Curriculum.

How to apply to VEEP:
