Steve Turner started his Bring Back the Trades campaign as a small business owner for the past thirty years, in the trade of custom upholstery.  It has become increasingly difficult to find and hire skilled individuals due to the shortage of public, private, and vocational schools teaching the trades. Steve is dedicated to promoting and educating the public of the need for skilled trades professionals. To implement his mission, Bring Back the Trades, Inc will collaborate with local educators, community leaders and local trades businesses to change the perception of the trades within the educational system, and will award scholarships to qualified students living in the United States who are pursuing post-secondary education in a professional trade.

Steve has designed a line of apparel with logos depicting numerous trades to help spread the word of the importance of these crucial jobs. Proceeds from the sales help fund the scholarship program in which individuals can gain access to the trade education of their choice and ultimately gain employment in that trade, which is crucial to the growth of our country.

In today's episode we take a stab at a completely different show type and spin the mics away from the Zoom lens and into a face-to-face interview with none other than Matt's wife, Kerry.  We dig into what it's really like to be married to an entrepreneur in the construction industry and how it is so crucial to have great partnerships not only at work, but also at home.  

Starting a business and grinding through the early years is rough!  We try to pull off the veil and get into the real nitty-gritty details that don't often get talked about.

Today, Dillon and I chop it up with Alex Kraft of Heave.co.  Alex is a first-time entrepreneur who saw a problem in the construction equipment industry and set out to solve it by founding an innovative new way to acquire heavy equipment, either by purchase, rental, or lease.  Along with this, Alex is also a huge proponent of the Blue Collar Badass and Making the Trades Cool Again.  As a guy with more than 16 years in the industry, he brings a unique perspective to the table - definitely one you don't want to miss!
