Hi, I’m Joe Cadwell the host of Grit NW and I want to personally thank you for checking out my podcast.
Whether you’ve been following the show for a while or are a new listener, thank you for being here.
The goal of Grit NW has been and always will be to inspire its listeners to Understand, Value and Protect our union and all it provides.
Additionally, I try to foster and develop a sense of pride within our ranks, acknowledging that as builders of this nations infrastructure and wealth we deserve to hold our heads high.
I do all this by interviewing industry leaders and subject matter experts.
With over 40 episodes to choose from, I am certain you will find content that will enlighten, educate, and inform you.
For example, if you’re interested in wealth management and personal finance, be sure to check out Season 2’s episode on Financial Management Strategies. I spoke with Patrick Town from Union Home Plus and Jonny Flavin from Aspire Capitol. These guys really know their stuff and have tons of great information to share on how you can put your hard-earned dollars to work for you.
Maybe inspiring human-interest stories are more your thing. If so, be sure to check out the hugely popular Carpenter Stories series, where I interview people, whose lives were radically transformed for the better after joining an organized labor union.
Speaking of transforming lives What about learning the crucial role politics plays on a day-to-day basis in the lives of union carpenters and the working middle class?
If so, you will want to hear nationally recognized public speaker and worker rights advocate Mark McDermott. I’ve had the pleasure to talk with Mark on numerous occasions and trust me he doesn’t pull any punches when he explains why trades people can’t afford not to be involved in their union. It’s great information delivered in a direct and no non-sense fashion. Be sure to check it out.
Ready to learn something new to take your career to the next level?
If so, checkout my ongoing series called “Skills to Pay the Bills.” There you will hear from industry experts on how you can gain the knowledge, certifications, and experience to make a difference in your ability to provide for yourself and your family. From ICRA to Welding, these episodes hit the spot when it comes to career advancement.
And finally, I am happy to announce that September kicks off Season 3 of Grit NW with new episodes being released every other Monday.
