Oppuous started off as a question, an idea, a thought, a wish, and ultimately a movement. Too many times we’re told “you can’t do this”, “you’ll never make it”, or “that’s dumb”, etc. Oppuous believes that everyone should have an opportunity to reach their dreams and everyone has value. As such, Oppuous does its best to give back to the community by employing Veterans, the homeless, single parents, and the generally disenfranchised. We give back to the community because WE ARE THE COMMUNITY. I want to build a better world for my son and OUR WORLD. For too long capitalism has taken everything and given nothing.

I became an entrepreneur in part due to my humble beginnings as a minority growing up in a military home. I went through the traditional means of putting myself through college with student loans, odd jobs, and late nights studying. I was successful in any position I took and “climbed the corporate ladder.” In 2013, I became a father and realized on the day I held my son in my arms; that my life was no longer my own and everything I did had to be for him. While I made many incredible connections, learned so much, became a public speaker, interviewed by magazines, and gained invaluable experience in the Tech space; I yearned for more. I became an entrepreneur to build generational wealth for my son, invest in myself and my community, and follow my passion. The Pasion was that I can do good while doing great, we can create something larger than ourselves, we can create opportunities for each and every person on this earth; because after all: An opportunity for you, is an opportunity for us.”​Join Oppuous in our movement.Highly driven, results-oriented, and high-revenue-producing professional with 7+ years’ sales and marketing experience and a passion for driving business objectives through understanding, maintaining, and cultivating relationships.

Skilled trade workers are dedicated professionals who make our world a reality. Want to know why your toilet flushes, your house stays the right temperature, and the lights come on? Thank a tradesperson! Every week on this skilled trades podcast, hosts Jeff Mudd and DJ Danny talk with business owners, tradespeople, educators, and representatives from trade organizations. Whether you are a seasoned professional or just starting on your skilled trade journey, The Trades Podcast has something for you.

Across the United States, there is a short supply of workers in every industry, not just the building trades. The retirement of the aging baby boomer population puts the skilled trade industry even more at risk. We need the next generation of tradespeople to become active.

For young people in skilled trades careers, a few simple soft skills like time management and learning how to ask appropriate questions to increase their knowledge will make them more valuable to their employers. We encourage the combination of learning technical knowledge along with people skills as a path to advancement.

We know that there are plenty of high school students along with people in their 20s and 30s who would benefit from a career in the trades. For too long, high schools have been emphasizing college as the main route to a fulfilled life. There is no doubt that our great country needs advanced college graduates, but it also needs professional tradespeople who build the houses we live in, the bridges and roads we drive on, and the offices we work in. We hope to show the younger generation that a career in the skilled trades is a great option for a full and prosperous life.
