In this podcast episode, I explore the history of the conventional "two-week notice," other variations of notices to leave an employer, and what the future might look like with increased employer investment in their employees.

There are a lot of misconceptions about unions, and after 22 years, I've heard many of them.

This episode is the first of a multi-episode series where I explore those misconceptions and address them head-on

Join me as I kick off this series.

Have you ever been around someone who has asked a lot of questions and wondered why?

Have you ever really thought about the power of questions?

In this episode, we discuss why most people don't ask questions, the benefits of asking questions, and some scenarios where - if we asked more questions - we'd save ourselves a lot of trouble.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be in the skilled trades? What it's like to be an apprentice? What opportunities are out there for you?

Apprentice Jermain Marshall sits down on The Wealthy Ironworker and tells us his story.

In this episode, I talk about the generational warfare and how it's breaking down the social compact.

Younger people get judged a lot, but older folks have enormous responsibility in what's going on.
