Got a wild one for you today, guys.
3 guests on the show today – 2 of them returning, 1 of them brand new.
So our returning guests, Paige Knowles and Ken “Coach” Midgett talk about some of the things they’ve been up to since the last time they were on. Of course, Paige has yet another children's book on plumbing. Truly amazing.
And Ken, getting used to being on the road to conferences and tradeshows talking about the value of education in the skilled trades.
Our new guest though, Daphne Ziegenfus, is currently a plumber at Delux Plumbing and Heating. She offers her incredible perspective on being a woman in the trade and how her employer’s company culture is welcoming of that.
We also speak about the documentary, American Plumber Stories, that featured all 3 of these incredible advocates and where you can find that.
Too much to list in an intro so keep listening!
