EP276: Go Farther Together with Colin Toop

I was recently a guest on The Site Visit's podcast where I shared my story. I hope you find value in my journey and walk away with a better understanding of the man behind the microphone at Tools of the Trade.Here is the bio and reason why I started the podcast. Enjoy!Colin has been in the construction industry for 14 years and is a Master Electrician by trade. As he progressed professionally, he realized that the construction industry was falling behind. "We are behind technologically, we have a labor shortage, there is a major lack of resources and mentors and many people are put off by the blue-collar optics of construction." Tools of the Trade was created to help bring the construction industry up by sharing stories, tools, and resources from industry professionals. "This is a billion-dollar industry and we have some major international companies that make up that billion, how come no one knows who owns them or how they got started? I think we could all use some motivation and some good resources to help us grow"Thank you for listening, please subscribe, leave us a review and share this with your friends!Check out The Site Visit Podcast HEREFor show notes, blog posts and past guests, please visit: www.toolspodcast.comSign up for Colin's newsletter HEREInterested in sponsoring the podcast?
