In todays Episode I have a chat with Colin Hill. He is the Vice President for civil construction in Western Canada at EllisDon Construction. I personally have known Colin for almost a year now and we finally got to chat about how and where he got his start in the construction field, as well as some of the projects he has had the opportunity to work on and over see. For his age, and what he was in charge of is pretty impressive. Give this episode a listen and let us know what you think.

If you are running or own a business, you need to listen to this episode and take notes.
In this episode, I chat with Jay person, president of Pierson Work Holding. Jay talks to us about how he got started in the machining industry, and how he went from being unorganized to undoubtedly the most organized, clean and productive shop, period.
If you are on YouTube, or Instagram and you follow guys like #NYCNC or #Hour.glass_ingenuity you might have seen some of Jay's handiwork helping them save time, money and headache.
This episode will bring full circle how you would bring what we call "Kit-Checks" in the military, into the civilian world.

In this episode, I take a good look at the clues that success leaves behind.
Often we try to forge our own path and in doing so we think that it needs to be tough and hard. However, that is not always the case. Sometimes all you need to do is look around at our mentors and dissect how they have achieved their success.
That is exactly what we are doing in this episode.
Give it a listen and let me know what you think, was I wrong, what questions would you ask your mentors if you could talk to them? Fire me off an email and let me know.

Chris and I chat about something so simple, yet so many people screw it up. How to be a good customer.
This time we chat with Apex welding.
Just a general bullshit session between chris and I. Bringing each other up to speed on our shops and situations.
Fair warning, Chris and I defiantly chase the squirrel through out this episode, Everything from our regrets from Taco Bell to actually about tools we regret buying. Also, you will hear some background noise from time to time... That is Chris's shop neighbors.
