Dillon gives a preview of what's coming at the next Vertical Design Build Summit — speakers covering workforce development, prefab, design-build, and leadership — before diving into a candid conversation about what it really takes to build a career in the trades. He breaks down the reality behind the "make $300K as an electrician" headlines, what attracts and retains apprentices, and why glorifying the paycheck without explaining the grind does more harm than good. He also talks about career growth from the employer and employee side — how companies can create real learning opportunities, and how individuals can take ownership of their own development. Plus, a great story about a guy who went from painting parking lot stripes to CIO of a $150 billion company.
