Step up to The Line. A new podcast focused on highlighting the skilled trades. I sat down with Scott Gray of Cleveland Electric and Liz Campbell, director of chapter development of the AECA in Atlanta, Georgia. We talked about the work the trades fear and what it is to be fake or authentic. We also covered what it is that the next generation is looking for in jobs they desire in the future. This conversation truly is interesting as we discuss what it is that it takes to do the work in the trades.

May is mental health month. I thought it was appropriate that I share this real, deep, and honest conversation that I had last year with you with Richard Jones of YOUTurn Health. I've been saving it because till the time felt right. He talks about what soul sickness is and the things that eat at your soul. I believe that mental health is something that we tend to ignore. We tend to cover up and not realize how important it is to be honest about it.  In this episode, he and I both decide to be very honest and transparent with those who mightlisten. We get into some of our own mistakes and weaknesses, and we talk about how to overcome the fear and the anxiety of life. I encourage you to check itout as it drops Monday morning.
