THE AMERICAN  LINEMAN is undeniably the greatest book ever written about linemen and our trade.

If you are a Lineman and passionate about this trade, I'm sure you enjoy learning about our history.

Alan Drew is the author of an amazing book about the origins of our trade called The American Lineman. I interviewed Alan on episode 64 of Powerline Podcast if you're interested in his story.

Brady Hansen @bradyhansen345 and I have teamed up, and over the next few months we'll bring you a chapter-by-chapter reading of The American Lineman so you can better understand where we began and where we are today.

You can find the book at www.alexanderpublications.com

Braam is a US Military Veteran. His family hails from South Africa, and he's done a bunch of crazy jobs before finding linework. Some of these jobs include playing ice hockey, cattle ranching, and Alaskan commercial fishing and guiding. It's safe to say his true love, other than his soon-to-be wife Taylor, is the outdoors. He now combines his passion for guiding and the outdoors with helping his fellow vets through Wounded Warrior Outdoors and is just starting his new career in linework. This episode is a great one for anyone to listen to, whether you're just starting out in the trade or you've been in the trade for years and need a new perspective.

I've followed Kyle for quite a while now on social media. He's a lineman and a man who has always made time to look after himself by staying fit and super positive. He's motivated me on numerous occasions to get my ass in the gym and look after my mental and physical health. Kyle is also a veteran and shares some great advice for vets trying to find a new path after the military.

D'Jon Greer has an awesome story of persistence and perseverance. Our conversation hits so many great topics, such as how to start with a union, becoming an inside wireman in order to reach your dream of being a lineman and diversity in the trades. We talk about how being an African American has led to both struggles and highlights. D'Jon gives some fantastic advice and draws attention to the Edison International Lineworker Scholarship Program. An all-expenses-paid program geared towards Black or African Americans wanting to become journeymen linemen.

At True North Gear® / Dragon Wear, they know tough tools are essential for tough jobs. And your job is one of the toughest. That’s why founder Alyx Fier started building rugged, groundbreaking gear in his garage in 1992. His work began with an idea and a home sewing machine after he learned how fire gear wasn’t being designed around the specialized needs of the crews who actually used it. Fier also knew that fit and design issues were causing back problems for wildland firefighters, and he thought he could make a difference with his brand of intelligently designed packs and gear. That’s how the company was born. Nearly three decades later, They've grown into a multi-brand company that distributes ISO 9001-registered products around the world. Even with their growth, they continue to be a family-owned company, operated out of Seattle, Washington, and just up the street from that garage where it all began. Throughout the years, they've remained focused on their mission of keeping their customers at the center of everything that they do. They regularly ask for and harness user feedback to create brand new designs or improve upon current products. Designing dependable, high-performance gear is the way they support your valuable work in life-risking environments each and every day. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation, and I know you will learn a lot from it.
