On this episode Nick sits down with Tyler Schmidt. Tyler wears a lot of hats - and one of them is a firefighter’s helmet. By day he’s a husband, a father, and a machine maintenance engineer at a local shop. By night he’s one of the heroes many of us take for granted – rescuing kittens from trees, saving the public from flaming automobile crashes, and making breakfast for little old ladies. 

Tune in to learn all about Tyler’s trade school experience, his heartwarming EMT/Firefighting stories, and how to fight the system – from the inside. 

On this episode we sit down with Greg Hicks who is running his own company offering handyman services to the greater Cincinnati area. Tune in and learn all about the dangers of the job and the refreshing honesty with which Greg approaches his work. 

On this episode we're honored to sit down with Jesse Rodgers - talented guitar player, luthier, founder of Revolution Guitar Works, and all-around good dude. If you've ever picked up a guitar or have an interest in working with your hands this is the episode for you. Tune in and see how fast Jesse's inspirational words make Nick cry, decide for yourself whether it was a bad idea to give Alex a microphone, and enjoy brief musical interludes from special guest: Jesse's Fish Tank.

Growing up, I never really considered the diverse amount of skillsets that goes into building a home or business. I always thought you just strapped on a hard hat and went to work. I could not have been more wrong! 

Join us this week to have a conversation with Matt Herriott, a Project Manager for Great Oak Construction, and Ben Brady with Brady Custom Carpentry.
