The Builders Show | Stop Hiring Just Skill: Character, Trust & Vision > “Journeyman Only”
Work & Talk Podcast
Everyone posts “3–5 years experience, journeyman only.” Then they’re shocked when production tanks over drugs, drinking, and no-show culture. Today, Cameron and Will unpack the five traits that actually sustain a company—Character, Trust, Vision, Work Ethic, Skill Set—and react to a caller on Dave Ramsey’s show who hit $1.1M with four techs…then had to fire half his crew.
In this episode:
Why journeyman-first hiring backfires without character & trust
How to screen for the five traits (before you hand over a van)
Red flags you ignore at hire become crises at scale
Customer experience > “I’ve been doing this 30 years”
Building respect for the trades through professionalism
Bottom line: Skills can be taught. Character keeps clients, crews, and cash flow.
