The Builders Show | Why the Trades Need Leaders, Not Just Workers
Work & Talk Podcast
It’s Episode 12 of The Builders Show, the only morning show for contractors, tradespeople, and builders.
Today, Cameron and Will dive into the future of the skilled trades after watching a video from The Human Side of Construction. The next 10 years will bring massive changes: retirements, leadership gaps, and the need to pass on knowledge the right way.
⚡ Why we don’t just need more workers — we need more leaders.
⚡ The difference between 30 years of experience and 30 years of growth.
⚡ Why gatekeeping kills the industry and mentorship builds it.
⚡ How to take your license, your experience, and turn it into leadership.
This episode is about raising the next wave of foremen, project managers, and contractors — not just filling jobs, but building the future.
