On today's episode I have Redgie Probst, COO of Quanta Services with me. Because we get questions often about how people can get involved in trade and what opportunities are out there in those fields, I wanted Redgie to provide direction and information on Quanta as well as various trade fields. Redgie shares his background in agriculture as well as how his hard work ethic and his dislike for school brought him to trades. We discuss college versus trade school and what the process of training for a trade looks like. In this episode you'll hear how it's never too late to start in trade while still being involved in agriculture. Redgie Probst began his career in the trades at the Utah Valley University lineworker program. Developing his skills in the field, he attained certifications as a Journeyman Lineman, Journeyman Substation Technician, and Master Electrician. Through his experience in the trades, Probst recognized the opportunity posed by unmet needs in the industry, and founded Probst Electric Inc. in 2004 and Summit Line Construction, Inc in 2008. He served as President and Chief Executive Officer of both companies until they were acquired by Quanta in November 2013. He has served in various roles within Quanta, including Regional Vice President of Electric Power, Senior Vice President of Electric Power, and President of Electric Power. In January 2022, Probst was appointed Chief Operating Officer. Probst is a third-generation rancher who is passionate about building better lives for individuals and their communities through work in the trades.   Resources & Links: Good to Great by Jim Collins The Go Giver by Bob Burg and David Mann Greatness by Dr. David L.
