Powerline Podcast

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.

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.

The Call Out is a new series that I will be guest hosting for www.linemenplusus.com that is solely dedicated to the stories of female power linemen. This series will eventually go on to become its own podcast but for now will be published under the Powerline Podcast platform. Susan Blaser is a trailblazer & pioneer in the power utility industry. She has accomplished many “firsts” in her life. She was the first female journeyman lineman in the state of Missouri. She was the first female journeyman lineman for Kansas City Power & Light. She was the first (still the only) female line school instructor in the country. Susan Blaser will be the second woman ever inducted into the International Lineman’s Museum Hall of Fame. 

Another notable first….Susan is the first guest of The Call Out. A podcast series solely dedicated to the stories of female power linemen. Thank you Susan Blaser!
