A young IBEW electrician talks you through the wildest job in America right now, wiring the data centers that run the AI age, while figuring out his own life one paycheck, one panel, and one new town at a time. Part ride-along, part coming-of-age, part the best argument for the trades you’ll ever hear, from a guy who still can’t believe he gets paid for this. Hosted by Connor Walsh. New episodes weekly. Bring your own coffee Nobody told Connor Walsh the door was there. Three semesters into a community college degree he hated, broke and going nowhere, he stumbled into an electrical apprenticeship almost by accident. Two weeks in, he knew. Four years later, he’s a fourth-year IBEW apprentice wiring hyperscale data centers on the biggest construction buildout since the Interstate Highway System, making more than his college friends, with a pension they don’t understand yet, having the time of his life. Hot Wired is his show. Every week, Connor brings you onto the job, what a data center actually is from the electrician’s seat, what an apprentice really makes, why a beautiful conduit run makes grown men stop and stare, and tells you his own story along the way. The highs, the road, the journeymen who chew him out and teach him everything, and the gas station breakfasts he rates on a scale nobody asked for. It’s high-energy, it’s funny, and underneath the fun it’s making a quiet case: the trades might be the best-kept secret in America, and Connor’s a little mad nobody told him sooner.

    Two Weeks In, I Knew
    2026/07/20


    Three semesters of community college. Forty grand in debt. Zero idea what he was doing.

    In the very first episode of Hot Wired, Connor Walsh tells the story of how he went from a miserable college dropout to a fourth-year IBEW apprentice wiring the biggest buildout in America, and the exact moment, two weeks into his apprenticeship, when he knew he’d found it.

    Plus: the phone call that landed him his first hyperscale data center job, and why he had no idea what he was walking into.

    This is where it starts.

    EPISODE 1: Two Weeks In, I Knew | How I Found the Best Job in America by Accident

    Connor Walsh was three semesters into a community college degree he hated, broke and panicking, when an uncle got him a look at an electrical apprenticeship. He showed up to get his family off his back. Two weeks later, he knew he’d found the thing.

    In the premiere episode of Hot Wired, Connor tells his origin story — the miserable classroom mornings, the debt, the uncle, the moment the work clicked in his hands in a way nothing ever had — and ends on the phone call that would send him to his first hyperscale data center campus.

    If you’re young and stuck, or you know somebody who is, this one’s for you.

    In this episode:

    • Why community college wasn’t working — and what it was costing
    • The uncle, the apprenticeship, and showing up for the wrong reasons
    • The exact moment, two weeks in, when Connor knew
    • What an IBEW apprenticeship actually is — you earn while you learn, zero debt
    • The phone call: his first data center job
