In this episode we talk about a company that he works for called FallTech and what they are doing to innovate in the safety gear industry.

When I was thinking of starting a podcast back in 2019, Chris was the first guy that I told. Fast forward a few years and I’m finally getting to sit down with him and have him on the show. Both Mack and Chris are energized barehand linemen that have travelled the country perfecting their craft. This episode is packed with value, including Mack’s recount of his near-death experience as an apprentice. If you only choose one episode to listen to it’s this one. Enjoy!
