Tracy has spent decades in the construction industry and believes in the value of the trades.  She started as a PM, moved to Sales, Sales Manager, before becoming the GM of a commercial fire and life safety contractor in the Pacific Northwest.  In her last role, she was amazed at how difficult it had become to find skilled workers.  Navigating different job sites and hiring platforms – none of which focused on our industry’s needs. Finally, in November of 2021, she jumped out of her (some might say) responsible job to start Real Work – an on-line platform built just for the trades.  

Her mission is to support the trades and remind people the value of different paths. She lives by the moto that “everything’s figure-out-able” and is committed to delivering a platform that meets the needs of both employers and workers. Bringing the industry into the 21st century.  Tracy truly believes, "it's all about the People".

The Real Work platform is scheduled to launch September 8th.  You can go to Realwork.com now and sign-up to be one of the first people notified.

Also, Tracy and the Real Work team (working behind the scenes to bring this to life) would love your support with the launch if you’re able and willing.  You can own stock in the business with as little as $100 investment. Here’s a link for anyone who’s interested in being a part of this starting on the ground floor!   https://wefunder.com/realwork 

Gage and Tyler hang out in studio and complain about crazy stuff they've seen in the field.

Daniel Spencer, husband and father. Senior Cable Splicer by trade, and Life Coach by “accident.” He's been in the Powerline trade for 19-1/2 years, sober for 12, married for 19, I have 2 kids, and has been through some things in his short 40 years. He started in the trade as a Groundman, went through the underground apprenticeship, and was promoted to Senior. He's been electrocuted, and blown up in a vault explosion (separate incidents) where he needed 2 skin graft surgeries on my face. Then went through a complete body transformation, losing over 140 pounds. (gained from alcohol and fast food) He shares his story of overcoming MUCH self inflicted pain. Gaining control over his negative habits, and now helping other people all around the world, regain control over their lives. Daniel is an online coach that creates confidence, discipline, and helps people lose weight by giving education on proper nutrition, workouts, and an inbreakable mindset.
