1 hr 8 min - Go Sprout Ft. Carlos Vazquez Ep. 102
A lot of people don’t know this, but Blackline has its very own institute. Blackline Institute is a registered apprenticeship program in the state of Pennsylvania. Earlier this year we partnered with a company called Go Sprout to help us maintain records. They work directly with the state and the government in order to make sure that all the paperwork is properly recorded and the help with our training from an online standpoint. Go Sprout has an app that the students, the journeyman, and the mentors are able to use to help them be more effective in tracking their OJT hours and also helping us communicate with the government. We met with them earlier this year and they talked about what it is that they’re trying to do across the country. I appreciate their work and it was rather exciting to sit down and have afirsthand real honest conversation with them in South Beach. Check it out Monday anywhere you listen to your podcasts.

1 hr - Mechanized Manufacturing Ft. Adam Marsh Ep. 101
Manufacturing is the backbone of America. Supporting US manufacturing is a way to secure our future. We believe that just like in World War II the fight now or the race or whatever you wanna call it, is for AI. Josh sat down and had a real and honest conversation at the Manufacturing Association with Adam Marsh, CEO of Ledge Inc. They discussed what manufacturing is and how to make things work better. They talked about how to win the battle for AI that is in front of us now and the importance of supporting our military, our navy and to secure our future as a free society. It’s important to also give recognition to the men and women who are in manufacturing. We hope that this conversation with Adam brings some clarity to that and reminds us all of how important they are to the future of our country.-------------------------

1 hr 20 min - Building America Ft. Chuck Goodrich Ep. 100
Building America is a phrase I heard over and over again as I toured the facility at Gaylor Electric and saw their innovation center or their “high school”, as they call it, where they have people come and learn. It truly was inspiring. I sat down with one of their apprentices, one of their journeymen, and I got the opportunity to close the conversation with the CEO, Chuck Goodrich. What I was struck most by was something that I’ve always wanted to communicate well to people about the skilled trades—you can start in the trades not knowing anything about what we do or how the work is done, but if you’re willing to watch and wait, you will learn. And then if you’re willing to do the work, put in the time, the opportunities are endless. I think that these conversations really make that clear. Chuck started by working hard and now he’s the CEO of an almost billion dollar company with more than 4000 people and growing. They truly are building America. This is why we need the next generation to be built. It’s not just about buildings. It’s not just about data centers. It’s about people and this is something that Gaylor Electric understands. We made it a longer episode to celebrate our milestone of 100 episodes of The Line. We hope you enjoy.
2 hr 26 min - Age Is Just A Number Ft. Charles Tofferi Ep. 99
We were in Jacksonville, Florida not too long ago and I got a chance to connect with Ryan and Charles of Petticoat-Schmitt. Charles and I sat down and had a real and honest conversation at their new offices, as they’re expanding andgrowing. A big part of their growth is what we talked about and how over their 18 years of achievement it’s been accomplished through building values in their organization that not only are lived out, but attract people of like-minded values to come and be a part of what they are doing. It’s a great company and we had a great conversation. If you want to learn from some of their experiences and learn about what they’re continuing to do to build strong culture, I encourage you to check this episode out

50 min - Are There Any Stupid Questions? Ft. Ryan Groff Ep. 98
Josh sat down and had a real and honest conversation with K. Ryan Groff of Legacy Electrical Services Inc. With more than 20 years of experience in the skilled trades, he currently holds the title of president at Legacy and because he has also been the guy that poured the concrete and pulled the wire, those on his team have great respect for him and where he’s leading them. Ryan has an interesting take on how to communicate effectively and the importance of how we use our words. We also talked about whether or not there are stupid questions. Ryan and Josh also discussed the importance of having an awareness of what’s going on around you and how you can prepare yourself to be available for opportunities that you don’t even know are there. I encourage you to listen to this upcoming episode as Ryan unpacks this insightful information. Also, are there stupid questions?

52 min - The Real Deal Ft. Josh Nieves Ep. 97
As a country, we have been celebrating Labor Day for well over 100 years. It’s a celebration of the people—the men and women who do the work. This coming Monday our episode features Miller Electric Company who has been a part of the men and women who do the work for almost 100 years. It feels like an appropriate episode to celebrate the holiday with. I sat down with Josh Nieves of Miller for this episode to have a real and honest conversation in the Jacksonville headquarters of the Miller Electric Company. We talked about his origins and journey from the heart of New York in Manhattan and Freedom Tower and all the way to Florida, where he now works with Miller. He’s investing in the people and carrying on their company culture and values. I think it’s important for us to remember to stand firm on what it is that we believe whether it’s about the values that a company represents, or whether it is your faith, or whether it is what you would call doing the right thing. It is important to believe and uphold. To believe means that you accept a statement to be true and you believe that something exists. Josh and I talk about what we believe, about Miller, and what we believe about life. I truly enjoyed this conversation. I encourage you to check it out this coming Monday on your Labor Day holiday. Happy Labor Day from me and Blackline LTD
1 hr 3 min - The Rest of the Story Ft. Daniel Perea Ep. 96
In this continuation of our conversation with Daniel, the thing that really stood out to us is what it is to have value. He talks about where you place that value and how you give that value to others. It’s possible to know who you are and move forward with confidence without becoming arrogant and full of yourself. Sometimes this is something that can be a struggle. We believe in the blue-collar world or the trade world that we become unaware that other people don’t know what it takes to get the job done and quite frankly, we can take that and wear it as a badge of honor that we do know. We can’t forget that we need others. Daniel speaks to this from a hard work perspective. If you enjoyed the first part of this conversation, you can be certain that you wantto hear this one. It drops Monday everywhere you listen to podcasts.

1 hr 5 min - It's About Work Ft. Daniel Perea Ep. 95
We sat down with Daniel Perea of Apex Welding and he shared his story. From being a young boy, to becoming a man, to making men and building into others; it’s about the work. Daniel talks about what it is to do the work that’s in front of you. We talk about who to trust and who not to trust. You might feel like our podcast episodes are more of the same, or have a common thread, and that’s probably because they’re about the men and women who do the work. It’s about bringing their voices of experience to you and communicating the value of those who are out there doing the things that are not seen. These things make it that you and I can live the lives that we live. We hope you appreciate, as we do, who they are. Check it out this Monday at 5AM everywhere you listen to your podcasts.

58 min - Solutions Not Problems Ft. Wilmer Glick Ep. 94
Sometimes it’s really hard. All of us are posting and putting on brave faces, making things look like we have it all together and figured out. But most of the time nobody does. If you’re gonna figure anything out, realize this sooner than later; sometimes you get kicked in the teeth and before you can get back up, you get kicked in the head. If you’re going to go into business and be an owner you need to know it’s hard. There will probably be more hard days than there will be good days, but if it’s in you, it’s in you. Josh sat down for this episode of The Line with Wilmer Glick. They discussed what hard looks like and how to succeed and push through it till tomorrow. They discussed why we do what we do because that’s something that we really need to remind ourselves of and know. Life is hard, but it is worth it if you know why you do what you do. In our real and honest conversation, Wilmer shows all of us what it is to be courageous as he wasn’t prepared for some of the questions but, he answered them truthfully anyway. We encourage you to check out this podcast, dropping Monday at 5 AM. Yes life is hard, but you only fail if you quit.
