There is a serious threat to the future of this country, one that could threaten every aspect of America's infrastructure, leaving families and businesses helpless. Many blue-collar professionals say there is a stigma keeping young adults from rolling up their sleeves and replacing the men and women who are aging out, creating a crippling labor shortage. First Dr. Phil speaks with 22-year-old Mikey, who says he quit his job as an electrician because it made him miserable. He says his generation has easier ways to make a living. Plus, Ari, is an owner of a successful law firm, and says to be successful, young adults should be pushed to get advanced degrees, not be plumbers and coal miners. The debate heats up when Dr. Phil introduces Texas Master Plumber, Roger Wakefield, and, Jamison, a co-owner of multiple construction companies who both say the stigma towards blue collar workers is real. Find out what happens when Dr. Phil surprises, Lucy, a 20 year old, who has gone viral online for her refusal to work a 9-5 job mantra with a trip to get her hands dirty with Master Plumber, Roger Wakefield. Lastly, Dr. Phil speaks with Lisa who says when her husband sadly passed away, many felt she couldn't run their ranch by herself, boy did she prove the doubters wrong.

There's assurance the Government's proposed building consents scheme, allowing tradespeople to self-certify, is safe. Businesses with a track record of delivering bigger projects will be able to access streamlined consenting. Qualified tradespeople will be able to forego inspections for low risk builds through the opt in 'self-certification scheme'. Master Plumbers Chief Executive Greg Wallace told Ryan Bridge there's proof it works. He says Gas Fitters and Electricians have already been self-certified for 14 years, with no significant issues. Wallace says it will save workers and customers time and money, as at the moment adding 30 centimetres to your bathroom will take around four inspections to get a consent.

Four months ago, Wellington Water said plumbers weren't qualified to repair the capital's water crisis.  However, it's now been revealed that they're more qualified than Wellington Water's own workforce.  Master Plumbers Chief Executive Greg Wallace told Heather du Plessis-Allan “The Workplace Development Council have agreed the NZQA standards that plumbers do, are more than what Wellington Water requires.”  Wallace said “In February, [Wellington Water] told us they had a workforce crisis, and they couldn't fix the 3,572 leaks at the time.”  He said they make things as difficult as possible.

I sat down with Frank Denton, Chairman of the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, to explore the dynamic world of plumbing in Texas. Frank has licensed more plumbers in Texas than almost anyone else, attributing this success to the state's robust economy and abundance of opportunities, especially when compared to neighboring states like Oklahoma. We delve into the challenges and potential of establishing reciprocity agreements for journeyman plumbers from other states, highlighting Louisiana and Arkansas as key examples. Frank explains the critical need for skilled tradesmen in times of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, and how these agreements could aid states like Florida in emergency situations. Frank's journey also includes his tenure as Chairman of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation during a tumultuous period when the Sunset Commission considered abolishing the licensing and plumbing board for Texas plumbers. He shares his insights on Governor Greg Abbott's decision to sustain the TSBPE and the passion and pride that drew him to the role of chairman. We discuss the core values of the tradesmen, evidenced by a 7,000-person rally at the state capitol in Austin, where no trash was left behind. Frank addresses the lengthy process of becoming a Master Plumber in Texas and the need for more specific requirements for apprentices. Frank's optimism shines through as he talks about the impact of institutions like Collin College on the future of plumbing in Texas. Despite the impressive statistic that 98.7% of plumbers in Texas have no complaints against them, he emphasizes the importance of maintaining high standards to protect the reputation of the profession. Join us for an insightful conversation with Frank Denton as we uncover the intricacies and values of the plumbing industry in Texas and beyond.

There's a flood of experts with ideas on how to plug Wellington Water woes; yet the city is still hemorraghing 40% of drinkable water. Last week Master Plumbers told Checkpoint its members are qualified and available to help patch leaks in the capital, with many of the problems at toby's or isolation valves on private property. A report shows response and repair times have blown out in the capital; a patch-up that should take less than five days to do, is taking 40 days on average and staff shortages at the region's water services are stalling repairs. Now the professional assocation for Civil Contractors says there's enough of its people to do the work, but there's not enough funding being allocated.

David McKenna is a second generation Master Plumber and owner of Good Tidings Comfort. If you are interested in starting your own franchising business, how one begins that massive undertaking, listen in to today's show. Dave goes into detail about how he got started as a plumber in New Jersey, how he had to take a step back and rebuild his career, and what it takes to level up from a struggling contractor to a forward thinker on the verge of taking "The Good Tidings Way" Conversion franchise nationwide. Check out Dave's website! From his about section: My name is Dave McKenna and I love my life and I love my wife, I love my faith and I love my franchise. As founder of “The Good Tidings Way” Conversion franchise, I provide struggling contractors decades of development within days, allowing them to thrive, making more money faster and having more time for family and friends! As a Plumbing and HVAC contractor, I've always enjoyed my family and recreation, but I couldn't be in two places at one time, and I would lose customers, something had to give. So, I cut out golfing, got busy and quickly grew my company to 20 people and 3+ million in sales. With that kind of success and freedom, I not only could play all the golf I wanted, but with the extra time and money, I would buy a vacation home on the Jersey shore, where I also fell in love with boating and fishing. https://goodtidingscomfort.wistia.com/medias/xhq8ot21l2 It wasn't always easy though, that 1st team I formed? It wasn't built on integrity. I discovered the people I hired, didn't fit in with my core values and so they all had to go! After losing nearly everything, I gained my faith, an amazing trustworthy team, a new company name and grew an additional 25% to 4 million in sales! Wildly grateful and transformed, the best part is, I've been blessed with a vision to share what I've learned through a national conversion franchise. Now, through the Good Tidings Way franchise, my calling is to Build, Deliver and Support everything needed to compete and win in the Plumbing and HVAC marketplace.

Welcome back for another season of Space to Build, the podcast dedicated to the hard working women of construction.This week, we have Kelly Ireland, a registered Master Plumber in Philadelphia.We explore her journey through her apprenticeship, her experiences in the commercial sector and her new move to residential service work.  We dive into what building confidence has looked like for her through these different stages. She also gives us great tips on how to treat our plumbing and how to prep for service appointments as a homeowner or renter.We also discuss some harder topics in this episode and the importance of setting clear boundaries upfront.She also brings up an instance where someone took Instagram posts meant to be in good humor and twisted them into a nasty experience.  While it isn't a common experience, it is a lesson to keep in mind as we share our work lives and personal lives on social media.I would also like to throw out a disclaimer, for those not as familiar with construction terminology, there are words that can very easily turn into sex jokes.  If you are a parent who is looking to share this episode with your kid, then I would encourage you to listen to this episode on your own first.Despite all these warnings, I appreciate having Kelly on this show.  She is a candid and bold person who made a career shift in the midst of the pandemic that has really elevated her career in construction.  I enjoyed learning about her experiences, and I hope you do too!----------Please subscribe, rate, and comment!You can also join us online at SpacetoBuild.co@spacetobuild on InstagramSpecial thanks to the podcast editor, Sean Watkins!Another special thanks to Epidemic Sounds for the awesome music.
