Generational Attitudes and Blue Collar Work

Brace yourself as we discuss generational attitudes towards blue-collar work and expose the harsh truth of the cultural stigma that's been plaguing the industry. 

We delve into how Baby Boomer generation, having enjoyed the fruits of their labor in factories and skilled trades, handed down advice to the succeeding generations which ironically led to a significant workforce gap in the trades today. 

From discussing the high prices for services due to a lack of skilled workers to addressing the generational divide in work attitudes, this episode is packed with insightful discussions and hard-hitting truths about the state of the blue-collar industry. Tune in and let's challenge the status quo together!
