In this episode of the line, it is a true shout-out to Lancaster, Pennsylvania’s heritage, legacy and future. I sat down with Levi of Quarry View  Building Group and we discussed the importance of not allowing progress to destroy the experience of making sure that we remember the old ways. We can pay homage to the way that things were done while learning new things, but still not forgetting the old things. It’s important to remember those who have come before us. In this episode, we get to experience some of their work and their tradecraft. What I will tell you is, Levy shares some of the most honest answers and invites you into a truly humbling and real conversation. Drops Monday at 5 AM everywhere you listen to a podcast.

When in life you start to do things to improve and better yourself, there may be people around you who aren’t doing that same thing. Maybe they’re just coasting. Those people can sometimes feel threatened because they realize you’re succeeding and putting in the effort and they are not. They may think their job is threatened, or it may just make them look bad. They may respond in ways that aren’t always appropriate, and maybe, they are downright rude and intimidating.  To quote the mentor of our guest, “Mr. Perry, you don’t let nobody punk you.” You have to stand up for what you’re doing and believe in it enough that it doesn’t matter how people treat you.  You judge if how they react is worth your time. Invest in it when it’s worth your time to defend it.  In this podcast with Wilson Matthew Betances  of Energize Us LLC , We talk about the raw truth, we talk about the foundation of what it is that we need to do in the trades and how you need to be impacting the industry that you’re in. We talk about some of the tools that you can use no matter how uncomfortable I might find them to be. The reality is, you establish yourself on a foundation of raw, real truth and you can stand up to anything or anyone that might be trying to put you back down. Tune in every Monday for a new episode.

The statement “ ground zero ” refers to a starting point or a base for some activity. At Blackline our vision is to lift the view of the skilled trades and our mission is to communicate that the people have value. Let us give a little context as to why we have a vision statement and mission statement at BLACKLINE. A vision is something that you see, you envision, and you never really are done with a vision. A mission is something that you set out to do, a goal, and you can complete that mission. At Blackline, we will never stop lifting the view of the skilled trades but, that is just the starting point of us communicating the true value of the men and women that do the work. we can say that in this podcast episode with Andrew Brown, he achieves our mission by communicating the value that the men and women at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001 showed him. It changed his life. They changed the course of his life and what it is that he would do. Andrew Brown introduces himself as a skilled trade advocate. He posts every single day to communicate the value of the men and women who do the work that others might experience what he experienced on that day that changed his life.

Step up to The Line. A podcast focused on highlighting theskilled trades. This week I sat down with Edwin Parra of McCarthy Building Companies and Tim McDonald, president of Linear Technical College. I think it’s pretty cool to have had the opportunity to sit down with one of the nations oldest and larger contractors and we have a conversation with Tim, who is leading a college for the trades. We talk about how it’s not who you know but, it’s how hard you work. It’s the attitude and the effort that you’re able to put into something so you’re able to get something back out of it. We talk about the true success that you gain through your investment. These guys believe what they say and they live it. This truly is a real, honest, and authentic conversation.
