In this episode, Ryan sits down with Tyrel Crystal for a candid conversation that bridges the gap between the line side and the civil/underground world and why understanding each other’s work matters more than ever.Tyrel shares what it’s been like watching the “door get kicked open” with Quanta-level opportunity, going from underground utilities and civil work into larger-scale projects like ROW development, pad sites, pole sites, and major infrastructure builds. From leadership lessons to real talk about discipline, communication, and growth, this one is packed with takeaways you can apply on any crew, in any craft.In this episode we get into:- What civil + underground crews do that line crews don’t always see- How Quanta opens up a bigger “menu” of opportunities (and what you do with it)- The Elite Foreman conversation: leadership, trust, and why foremen are the “quarterbacks”- Why discipline beats motivation (and what that looks like on the job)- Saying yes to the little reps that lead to the big rooms- How line + civil teams can work better together through effective communication.- What Tyrel is most excited about heading into 2026: data centers, gas/power generation, aging infrastructure, and long-run utility replacement.- What kind of people crews need right now: attitude, work ethic, humility, willingness to learnIf you’re a foreman (or want to be), a young hand trying to level up, or someone who wants a clearer picture of how these projects come together, this one’s for you.✌️SUPPORT THE PODCAST HERE ✌️ Hit up our website here:https://www.powerlinepodcast.com/ 📱FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA📱TikTok: / powerlinepodcast Instagram: / powerlinepodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...LinkedIn: / powerline-podcast Twitter: / powerlinepodcst HOST: RYAN LUCASInstagram: / ryanwlucas TikTok: / ryanwlucas 💥INQUIRIES OR GUEST SUGGESTION💥Email: [email protected]
