درباره این اپیزود
Lyndsey McDonald didn't grow up dreaming of owning a plumbing company. In fact, she had no professional experience in the trades.
After an unwanted divorce changed the trajectory of her life, Lyndsey rebuilt her career, moved her family from Oregon to Middle Tennessee and eventually took an even bigger leap: starting Plumbing Pro.
Lyndsey joins Jim McCarthy to talk about rebuilding from difficult circumstances, starting a company in an industry she didn't know, surrounding herself with people smarter than her and creating a workplace designed to treat skilled tradespeople differently.
They also discuss five weeks of PTO for plumbers, hiring and work ethic, why skilled trades can offer a path toward financial stability, the impact of AI on white-collar careers and why the trades may be entering one of their biggest periods of opportunity.
