Make Trades Great Again

Send us Fan MailThe guys are out this week but we wanted to revisit one of our most downloaded episodes. A year ago Chad joined us as we talked about the next generation of apprentices and how things are changing in the trades. Training today's youth has evolved in ways we probably didn't expect. The controversial "Apprentice Pod" concept, first talked about here on the MTGA podcast was introduced by none other than our very own Eric Aune here in this episode! Lol, part two to this train wreck will air next week. We hope you enjoy it again or for the first time, just don't tell Chad he did a good job. Send us your feedback or topic ideas over on our social channels!Eric Aune @mechanicalhub Andy Mickelson @mick_plumbNewsletter sign up: https://bit.ly/MH_email

Send us Fan MailWe're looking back on some of our most downloaded episodes this week. Episode #6 "The Greatest Journeyman" is in the top three for listened to by our awesome audience so we thought why not take a look back, see if we could expand on the topic of what it takes to be a great journeyman. Or what it takes to be a bad journeyman...either way we hope you enjoy this episode and thanks to everyone from us here at MTGA for listening! If you like what you hear from us please smash the subscribe button.
