Podcasts about electricians

In a wide-ranging conversation, Nextlander's Vinny Caravella sits down with Will to ask a cavalcade of questions. Topics include whether paid search engines are worth the cash, what happens when your NAS needs new hard drives in 2026, why Fastmail rules, when you do (and do not) need to hire an electrician, and what can only be described as group therapy session about the horrors plumbers face every day. If you want to try Fastmail, consider using Will's Fastmail affiliate link to get a 10% discount on your first year and Fastmail throws a few bucks Will's way.  Support the Pod!

The Moncrieff Show is coming to you from the Montenotte Hotel in Cork as part of Newstalk's Summer Tour, with thanks to ESB!Seán is joined by Cork Comedian Christ Kent to talk about his path from Electrician to Stand Up, and his upcoming tour.

In this episode, EC&M Editor-in-Chief Ellen Parson is joined by Michael Catalano, high school guidance counselor and master electrician from Saugerties, N.Y., who has been instrumental in recruiting young electricians through the programs offered within his school district. He explains the BOCES program and how a unique partnership between high school electrical students and Habitat for Humanity is both helping develop their skillset in a real-world capacity and benefit the local community.  As the skilled labor shortage continues to impact the electrical industry and other trades, insights into how to best recruit and educate electricians — starting in high school or even earlier — is paramount. 

Austin Silver sits down with Brad "Savvy B," a Canadian futures trader from Kingston, Ontario who went from 15 years as an electrician to full-time trading. They cover his journey from penny stocks to options to futures prop trading, his $76K payout on Apex, why he now trades his own cash, his institutional level-based strategy, and a shared philosophy around consistency, paying yourself daily, and avoiding the flex culture of trading social media.Connect with SavvyB - https://x.com/savvybtradesSponsor: Prop Firm Match Compare over 40 prop firms — rules, drawdowns, payouts, scalability.Code MATCH to save on any firm!Click here — ⁠https://www.propfirmmatch.com/?a_aid=asfx

Last year he sold $800,000 in residential plumbing — and installed every job himself. This is his exact playbook. Payton Sword is a plumbing technician at Steve Huff Plumbing, Heating & Air in Kingsport, Tennessee — and a 4x Crown Champion at CertainPath, the program's top sales tier. Last year he sold roughly $800,000 in residential plumbing. No sales/install split, no handing the job off: every technician at Steve Huff sells the work and does the work. Payton was hired at 19 — at the same shop his dad worked for back in 1996. The company put him through 15 months of ride-alongs, trainings, and schools before he ever got his own truck. Today the shop's 12 plumbing technicians train four days every month: full service-call roleplays with homeowner personalities, DISC profiles, and a "switch method" that swaps techs mid-roleplay to keep everyone sharp. In this episode, Payton walks Bob Houchin through his entire service call, start to finish — from the drive-time research to the same-day install. In this conversation, you'll discover: • The $800K reveal — and why he installs every job he sells • The at-the-door credibility statement he delivers on every single call • Why he never asks permission to run the whole-house safety inspection — "it's a value creator" • Builder-grade vs. professional fixtures — and the restaurant question that sells Totos • The four-option presentation with everything on the top option • Present the top option, ask for the business — then go silent • "Is it only the money?" — his answer to "I should get another bid" • The authority close: "What were you expecting to spend today?" • Why the shop trains four days a month — and why it produces Crown Champions  Whether you run a plumbing company, manage a service team, or you're a tech chasing Crown Champion numbers — Payton's process is a masterclass in trust-first, education-driven selling. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

Send us Fan MailAI is getting louder, faster, and more impressive by the week and that can make kids wonder what's left for humans to do. We wanted to bring a calmer, more real-world answer: the future still needs people who can build, fix, and make things when life breaks in unpredictable ways.I'm joined by Archie D. Nettles, Jr., creator of Trades to the Rescue and the TradesTopolis universe. He writes kids as the heroes of infrastructure, the ones who solve the problems that actually keep homes and cities working. We talk about what “skilled trades” really means, why plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, carpenters, and mechanics are often the unsung heroes, and why these careers deserve the same early attention kids give to astronauts and doctors.Then we get into the AI question everyone asks: can robots really do these jobs? Archie explains why dexterity, tight spaces, and human trust make many trade tasks hard to automate, especially when you need help at 9 p.m. on a Sunday. We also flip the script to show how AI can be a teammate: faster planning, parts lookup, real-time estimates, better customer answers, and safer work with augmented reality that helps visualize what's behind a wall or how electrical currents flow.If your kid loves Legos, inventing, fixing toys, cooking, or asking “how does that work,” this is a confidence boost and a roadmap. Subscribe, share with a family who's thinking about careers, and leave a review so more kids can hear that there's more than one way to be smart.Resources:Follow Torque and Tori's AdventureGet the book.Follow on Instagram Support the showHey parents and teachers, if you want to stay on top of the AI news shaping your kids' world, subscribe to our weekly AI for Kids Weekly newsletter:https://aiforkidsweekly.beehiiv.com/Help us become the #1 podcast for AI for Kids, parents, teachers, and families.Like our content? patreon.com/AiDigiTalesGet or gift the book “AI… Meets… AI”Social Media & Contact: Website: www.aidigitales.comEmail: contact@aidigitales.comFollow Us: InstagramBooks on Amazon or Free AI WorksheetsListen, rate, and subscribe! Apple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotifyYouTubeOther

Most electricians hear "power outage" and immediately think: Generator.But what if a generator doesn't actually solve the problem?Because for thousands of homeowners working from home, the real threat isn't long outages, it's the 2-second power blip that crashes meetings, corrupts files, damages electronics, and destroys productivity.In this episode of MORE TO GIVE Series by Joseph Lucanie, we're breaking down a real-world service call involving two homeowners who work remotely and needed protection from constant brownouts and voltage fluctuations.And what we discovered opens the door to an entirely new category of electrical solutions most electricians aren't even offering yet. ________________________________________Grab The Free ResourceWant the complete pricing worksheet, option-building framework, and presentation process used in this episode?

This week on General Hospital, Josslyn Jacks caused a blackout at Wyndemere trying to escape, only to walk straight into Jenz Sidwell at the front door. Liesl Obrecht arrived demanding answers about Britt, called out Drew's SOS, blinking in front of Nina and Willow, and ended the week being grabbed by Cullum as a replacement for Britt on the project. Meanwhile, Brook Lynn watched Tracy's heart break when she warned her that if Chase had not cheated yet, he would, and by Friday, Brook Lynn was sitting with Lucy Coe asking for help. The week also brought Ethan confirming he is Phoebe's father and agreeing to a closed adoption, Sonny and Laura getting the photos out of Pascal's safe at Wyndemere, Lucas retrieving Marco's tie, and Kristina announcing she has been accepted to UCLA medical school. Plus the Port Charles Pipeline had some standout listener messages this week, Shannon and Amanda's reality checks, and a preview of Thursday's Port Charles 411 continuing the Willow and Nina series.

One comfort advisor in Boise, Idaho. Here's how Cord Nichols sells the top-tier system — every time. Cord Nichols isn't a closer who shows up Friday with a quote book. He's a comfort advisor at Diamond Heating & Cooling in Boise, Idaho — and he's quietly sold roughly $17 million in residential HVAC, including $2.25 million last year alone. He's a 7x Crown Champion at CertainPath, the program's top sales tier. Cord didn't start in HVAC. His first sales job was door-to-door — security in his early twenties. He moved to Utah looking for a wife, found her, then sold solar door-to-door before the solar industry tightened in the mid-2010s. Wanting a trade he could "sink his teeth into" — and not be a one-trick pony — he approached Diamond cold. He'd never sold HVAC. But owners Rick and Sue Ellen hired him for his sales background. Today he's a Dave Ramsey debt-free dad of four (with a fifth on the way) who recently paid off his mortgage — all on residential HVAC sales. In this episode, Cord walks Bob Houchin through the exact playbook — every question he asks, every option he names, every word he uses — for turning a single in-home consultation into a top-tier HVAC sale. In this conversation, you'll discover: • The $17M reveal — and the on-camera moment where Bob puts the career number on record • Why Cord opens every options reveal by repeating the customer's own words back to them • The Kia-vs-Toyota framing he uses to explain tiered HVAC systems in 30 seconds • The "Is there any reason I can't ask for your business today?" close — and the three answers it always produces • Why Cord names options after the customer's hobbies (the "14-Point Buck" move) • The clipboard intro that disarms skeptical homeowners ("I'm just going to be taking some notes") • "I am your one throat to choke" — the post-sale handoff line that earns lifelong customers  Whether you're a comfort advisor working to break $2M for the first time, a sales manager building a residential HVAC playbook, or an owner trying to understand what consistent top-tier closing looks like — Cord's process is a masterclass in trust-first, conviction-led HVAC sales. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

Here's how Chris Roberts turns a $300 light switch call into a $100,000 job. Chris Roberts isn't a salesman. He's an electrician who learned to sell — and last year he closed $5.1M in electrical, $2.3M in plumbing, and $500K in HVAC personally. The plumbing total happened in roughly one month. He's the first double Crown Champion in CertainPath history. Chris runs sales for Bailey Plumbing, Safety First Electric, and Comfort Heating and Cooling — three companies operating under one roof out of San Jose and Morgan Hill, California. Chris started in the union, watching his electrician's check stay flat while his family kept growing. When the union got slow, he took what he thought was a short-term gig at Safety First Electric — installing, not selling. A few weeks in, the owner asked him to go run a sales call. He brought back $7,000 in signed work. By the end of his first month in sales, his check rewrote his understanding of what was possible. He called his wife and said, "I'm not going back to the union." In this episode, Chris walks Bob Houchin through the exact playbook — every word he uses, every door he opens, every shirt he wears — for turning a single service call into a six-figure multi-trade job. In this conversation, you'll discover: • The $7.9M sales reveal — and why most of the plumbing total came in roughly a month • Why Chris never says the word "finance" on a sales call (and what he says instead) • How a $300 light switch call becomes a six-figure rewire, re-pipe, and drain job • The "Two Costs and One Price" framework that crushes "I need to think about it" • Why Chris wears a different shirt on Day 2 — and what it sells • The 4-option pricing system that lets Bailey charge $70K for a rewire (when competitors price it at $25K) • Why he won't sell a re-pipe to a customer who doesn't need one — and why disqualifying like this builds trust  Whether you're a sales tech trying to break $1M for the first time, a sales manager building a multi-trade playbook, or an owner trying to understand what makes one rep close $7.9M across three trades — Chris's process is a masterclass in stacking trades without losing trust. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.
