When it comes to pursuing a profession in your field of passion, age is only a number. Starting a career in the construction industry requires a combination of perseverance, adaptability, and strong interpersonal skills. As you navigate this field, it's essential to embrace a mindset of consistently showing up, no matter the challenges. Communication is key for smooth transitions between estimating and project management. Past experiences, like customer service, help build empathy and teamwork. Embracing mistakes with a positive attitude and focusing on growth fosters resilience. Whether learning or leading, humility, asking questions, and leading by example lay the foundation for long-term success in construction.

To succeed in any industry, focus on building strong interpersonal skills, like being kind and understanding toward others. Don't be afraid to ask questions, no matter your experience level. To be an impactful leader, immerse yourself in the work alongside your team.  When faced with failure, focus on quickly acknowledging it, apologizing if necessary, and learning from the experience.   RESOURCES Isaac Anderton LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isaac-anderton-12790621a/ Bradshaw Sandwich Shoppe: https://bradshawssubs.com/   THE SHIFT Imagine making the shift from building projects to truly leading people.

We may experience life in the eternal present, but history rides along with us. And the history inside our classrooms this semester at American River College was suddenly and without warning upended by the history under our feet: our primary classroom building, Davies Hall, was shuttered upon being declared a seismic risk. As mismanagement and managerial hubris combine to drive us deeper into an unthinkable administrative boondoggle, we once again pause to take ground readings, and assess the risks of collapse in the histories so often told. Concerned for the well-being of our students, we have declared several of these stories to be seismically unfit. From Davies Hall to the Haitian Revolution, and the great universe of storytelling beyond, join us for another rambunctious episode of History Against the Grain.

In The Heart of It All (Melville House, 2023), Christian Kiefer imagines a group of factory workers and their families living in a once vibrant Ohio town during the Trump era. The factory is the only place to work outside of Walmart, the grocery store, or a fast-food chain, and it's owned by Mr. Marwat, a Pakistani man whose wife helps in the office, while their teenagers embrace American life. The family is upended when Mr. Marwat's parents move in. The factory foreman, Tom Bailey, and his family's lives are upended when their sick baby dies. Their daughter Janey's life is upended when she befriends the only Black young man in the town. Mr. Marwat's secretary Mary Lou's life is upended when her mother moves into a nursing home and dies.

Rona brain be damned we had a fun episode tonight chatting it out with @travis_cannady the creator of @betteroffzine and all-around film wizard. He shared how he got started with film and his experiences being a living dip dunk machine processing films for lots of folks in Northern California. We got into aspects of social media, what's been going on with Instagram, and some thoughts around the up-and-coming Grainery app. He also got into his zine making, some of the projects and challenges he has had in the wild world of zines. He has a few projects coming out so make sure to check out the links in his bio to stay abreast of things.“Travis Cannady is a photographer born and raised in Sacramento, California. He studied Fine Arts at American River College from 2012 - 2017. This is where he found his love and appreciation for film photography while working in the darkroom. While not limiting himself to any one genre of photography, the current focus of his work is on documenting the mundane of everyday life. Other than photography, Travis has found a passion for zines. That includes collecting them from other photographers and making zines of his own work. Also at the beginning of 2021, Travis wanted to share this passion for zine making by starting a new film photography publication in a printed format called Better Off Zine. These zines feature work from a different photographer in each issue with the goal of giving an opportunity for photographers in this ever-growing film community to share their work and to make it accessible to as many people as possible.”Follow Travis at https://www.instagram.com/travis_cannady/Check out Better of Zine https://www.instagram.com/betteroffzine/Photography Chat is a weekly Instagram Live @merlindb hosts every Thursday at 5pmPST/8pmESTGive me a follow if you want to see the episodes live https://www.instagram.com/merlindb/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/photographychat/donations

In this special Father's Day episode, LDF host Dan Wotherspoon interviews his dad, Jim. James Richard Wotherspoon has lived a remarkable life. Born blind (as was his brother, Robert), Jim has  achieved quite a lot in his 87-plus years. He became one of the first (if not the first) blind person to earn the rank of Eagle scout. He and his brother both mainstreamed at Berkeley High School, where he excelled in his courses, as well as music and chess. He then attended the University of California at Berkeley where he earned his doctorate in history (as well as met his wife, Beverly, and started a family). They then all moved to Sacramento, California, where he taught history at American River College for 43 years. In addition to his life triumphs, he faced many setbacks as well, including a heartbreaking divorce and reactions from church leaders, ultimately staying away from activity for 35 years. He is fully back and involved now, and most impressive of all is his attitude and the spirit of grace and forgiveness that radiate from him. You'll be glad you listened in!

Books, death, food, quaranTINIES, coming out, living your authentic life, Maya Angelou, buying lamps, Attitus Fitch, meeting your soul mate later in life, gay weddings, work-life balance, cheese drawers, being a great dad, the 80s, and getting your first born married. What a ride this episode is, as well as Brian's life. Brian is a dear friend of mine and has always been. Or at least as long as we can remember anyway. He and his late wife were always great hosts and I have fond memories of scooting around San Francisco with them and man could Diane drive a stick in that hilly city! I've yet to meet his husband, but it is something to look forward to, with cheese, of course. Brian is one of the most wise people I know. Brian Knirk had a career running restaurants in the San Francisco Bay area in the 1990's. The birth of his children changed his priorities and searching for work/life balance began teaching. Brian is department chair for Culinary Arts & Hospitality Management at American River College in Sacramento. In 2013, after the unexpected death of his wife and with two kids in high school, Brian began deep self-reflection that led to living authentically. Brian believes that if you listen and allow it, the universe will guide you. The result has been a joyful journey. And he's another Doctor, PhD, but doesn't talk about that much.

Hey guys, it's Uli, welcome to the Full Circle Show Josh is a personal stylist who wants to make you look good. He first started Styling in July 2018 attending American River College while working at Taco Bell. Wanting to keep himself busy before school and work, he would style his friends and family asking for little to no compensation. A year into styling, he caught his first big break when asked by Ulises to help style 8 models for a Fashion Show. The rest was history. After receiving a certification in Fashion Retail and spending 1 semester at Sacramento State, he knew school wasn’t for him. Saying goodbye to what he hopes was his last time attending school, Josh knew he wanted to focus just on styling.
