#73 Embarking on a career in the trade industry comes with its fair share of challenges and learning curves, something our guest, Josh Kernick, knows all too well. His story is not just about mastering the tools of the trade but also navigating the intricate world of construction with integrity and ambition. Stepping into our virtual workshop, Josh recounts the pivotal choices he made, including the tough decision to switch builders mid-apprenticeship—a move that ultimately steered his career toward a more fulfilling trajectory.

Throughout our candid discussion, we unravel the layers of craftsmanship that go beyond the woodwork. Josh's zeal for carpentry shines as he speaks to the heart of what it means to craft structures with precision and care, juxtaposed against the industry's harsh reality of cost-cutting and compromised quality. His journey is an eye-opening look at the business side of building, stressing the importance of a well-rounded skill set, and the delicate balance between maintaining high standards and the push for efficiency.

We delve into the nuts and bolts of effective mentorship, the significance of accountability, and the artful management of time that allows for growth without sacrificing personal well-being. So tune in, as we lay down the groundwork for success with our apprentice craftsman, Josh, guiding us through the framework of his developing journey.
