Labor Day is a celebration of the American labor force. This episode highlights some of the programs in Kentucky that are preparing the next generation of American workers.

Petty Officer George “Curt” Davison (USN) and Cpl Tom Lacey Cpl Tom LaceyTom grew up on Wheaton, IL and enlisted into the Army on July 15, 1943. After completing Basic at Camp Fannin, Tom volunteered and completed Radio School (FM SCR 300s) at Camp Maxey and was then assigned Company C, 99th Infantry Division. After arriving in Liverpool Oct 1944, Tom was deployed to the ETO 3 weeks later and was trucked to the Siegfried line near Krinkelt and then battled in the Hurtgen Forest Campaign. On Dec 16, 1944, Tom was awoken to heavy barrage at the start of the Battle of the Bulge. The 99th defensive positions were overrun by several German companies after a rolling barrage. While Tom was engaged in several small arms skirmishes, air to air combat raged overhead. Tom lived through relentless artillery barrages from both the enemy and US 105s and helped evacuate one of his buddie’s (Red Netter) who had been hit. The 99th withdrew to an advantageous strategic position on the Elsenborn Ridge. Tom spent the next 3-4 days along with Sgt Baker (C Co) within foxholes on this infamous ridge, defending their position from the onslaught of German forces. The 99th assisted with a counterattack led by Shermans in the 9th Armored. Tom and his comrades in the 99th were the 1st to cross the Rhine at the bridge at Remagen in March 1944 despite being shelled by devastating 88 mm artillery fire. Tom was discharged at Ft Lewis on Feb 2, 1946. Tom leaves us with the following pearls: There is little correlation between rank and leadership, basic training is effective, the GI was not only a good soldier, but a good innovator, medics were brave, well-trained and effective, the Red Ball Express was instrumental in US victory, never hate your enemy, everyone has something good to offer to the world, you never know where the next hero will come from and pray daily to your guardian angel. Petty Officer George “Curt” Davison (USN)PO Davison (99 years old) served as an Electrician’s Mate on the Destroyer Escort U.S.S. Rudderow that travelled to nearly 30 locations in the Pacific Theatre of Operations from 1943 to 1946. The USS Rudderow participated in submarine hunter-killer patrols, escort of resupply and troop reinforcement convoys and oversaw landings of landing crafts. Curt observed the suicide attacks on US ships by enemy pilots and the impact of a severe typhoon on his ship to the extent that the deck was under water. Curt’s ship also carried some of the soldiers who had survived the Battaan Death March after their release from prison camps. Curt was honorably discharged from the Navy in the summer of 1946. Curt believes that being in the Navy was an adventure and enabled him to see many places and become good friends with many sailors throughout the US. Curt recommends that no matter what your age, that you should stay active as he has been awarded thousands of medals and holds several state, five national and one world record as a Senior Olympian.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you're frustrated with jobs going over budget, staff cutting corners, apprentices not listening, or customers constantly chasing you, it's not bad luck. It's leadership. Poor leadership creates chaos: good people leave, morale drops, mistakes pile up, and your reputation takes the hit. You end up stuck in the same stressful cycle, firefighting instead of growing your business. The harsh truth? Your business will only grow to the level of your leadership.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN AND KEY ACTIONS FROM THIS EPISODE:> Uncover 5 killer leadership mistakes that cause jobs to collapse, stall, and fail> Discover the hidden mistakes draining profit, damaging morale, and reputation daily> Steal proven strategies for motivating staff without endless stress or shouting> Learn how communication clarity prevents delays, wasted labour, and costly errors> How great bosses inspire loyalty, build strong teams, and unlock business growthRise of The Trades Summit Tickets: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab your ticket here⁠⁠⁠⁠BECOME A MEMBER: Join our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Growth Club and get instant access⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to live marketing training, business coaching, courses and a thriving community of professional trades.

It's Elul, a time to prepare for the Yamim Noraim with the theme of Defining Success.When we take stock of our lives with a cheshbon hanefesh, we're really asking: Where am I now—and where should I be?That's the core question of this series: how to define success as a Ben Torah in the workplace. Many of our rabbeim push us toward ambitious goals in learning, but how do we balance those ideals with the blessed responsibilities of work, family, and community?This week's guest is Rav Simi Lerner. Rav Simi is an educator in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, a passionate Hirschian thinker, and—on the side—an electrician in Beit Shemesh. We discuss how Rav Hirsch's idea of Torah im Derech Eretz and other foundational principles can help us shape a grounded, realistic, and meaningful definition of success.

Understanding your home's electrical safety features protects both property and occupants. Regular professional inspections of electrical systems helps identify legacy installations that may no longer meet current safety standards. Double-lugging neutral conductors is a significant safety hazard and a major defect that can lead to loose connections, overheating, and arcing. The 2023 NEC 110.14(A) and NEC 408.41 now specifically prohibit double-lugging and mandate individual terminals for each neutral conductor. The NEC does not permit the termination of more than one neutral wire under a single screw at the neutral bus bar.

TJ Romans didn't just sell $800,000 in plumbing work last year—he installed it, too. That kind of performance doesn't come from pressure tactics or slick sales lines. It comes from trust, education, and a clear process that empowers homeowners to say yes with confidence.  In this episode, TJ breaks down exactly how he earns that trust—and consistently turns routine calls into big-ticket installs.  You'll learn how he: Sold and installed $800K in plumbing by keeping it simple and putting the homeowner first Navigates high-risk stoppage calls with a single sentence that protects both him and the company Uses inspections as an educational moment—not a scare tactic—and builds options around what homeowners care about Handles objections with empathy, especially on calls involving remodeled bathrooms or builder-grade fixtures Structures his calls by focusing first on what the customer noticed—then smoothly introduces additional value Builds urgency the right way—backed by visuals, facts, and clear explanations Avoids chasing every potential upgrade and instead controls the call with purpose  TJ also shares how he mentally resets after tough calls, stays consistent with his approach, and trains newer techs to focus on the long game—not the quick close.  This isn't a high-pressure sales training—it's a real conversation with a high-performing technician who genuinely wants to help people. And that mindset? It sells. If you're in plumbing sales—or manage people who are—this is the kind of episode that can change your approach for the better.

A Note from James:When I first said that college was a scam, people thought I was joking—or worse. But I wasn't. If you're 18 and listening to this, don't go to college. And if you're a parent, don't send your kid without doing the math. College doesn't guarantee a better life anymore. In fact, it could cost you years of freedom, tens of thousands of dollars, and saddle you with debt you can't escape. In this episode, Doug Hill and I talk about why the traditional path of “get a degree, get a job, live happily ever after” no longer holds up.Episode Description:In this second installment of the Crazy Finance series, James Altucher and Doug Hill challenge another major financial assumption: that college is necessary for success. James argues that skyrocketing tuition, guaranteed student loans, and outdated curricula make college a bad financial decision for most people. Doug, who sent four kids to college, shares his own experience and ultimately agrees—except in a few key professions.From alternative education paths to trade school opportunities, this episode breaks down the economics and psychology behind one of the most expensive decisions families ever make.What You'll Learn:Why student loan debt is structurally predatory and practically inescapableHow government-backed loans have inflated tuition for decadesWhich professions still require college—and which don'tWhy trade schools and alternative education may offer better returnsHow personal development can happen outside the college systemTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] Don't Go to College (Seriously)[01:00] Why “Personal Finance” Advice Feels Generic[02:00] College as a Scam, Explained[03:00] When College Is Actually Worth It[04:00] Do Doctors Really Need 8 Years of School?[06:00] The Business Degree: What Did It Even Teach?[07:00] Entrepreneurship vs. Education[08:00] The Myth of Higher Earnings[09:00] Remedial Programming After Grad School[10:00] Why Tuition Keeps Rising[11:00] Government Guarantees = No Risk for Colleges[12:00] The Hidden Costs and Opportunity Costs[13:00] Who Actually Benefits From College?[14:00] Trade Schools and Skilled Labor[15:00] Electricians, Mechanics, and the Real ROI[16:00] Useless Courses, Forgotten Skills[17:00] Dropping Out and Getting Ahead[18:00] Sales Skills vs. College Classes[19:00] AI and the Future of Professional Work[20:00] Socialization: Real World vs. Campus[21:00] Google Certificates and Online Education[22:00] James Insults His Alma Mater (Again)[23:00] Who Really Wins in the College System?Additional Resources:James Altucher on Twitter: @jaltucherJames's article archive on college: Altucher Confidential – Why College is a ScamCoursera Professional Certificates (Google, Meta, etc.): coursera.orgKhan Academy (Free Education): khanacademy.orgU.S. Department of Education – College Scorecard: collegescorecard.ed.govTrade School Info & Averages: Trade-Schools.netFederal Reserve Report on Student Loans: federalreserve.govSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
