The Lost Art of the Skilled Trades

“I want to take a moment to give you your flowers. What you're doing right now, The Lost Art of the Trades — I appreciate you bringing ears to the voices that are not well heard right now, and the way that you do it, the deft touch and yet the loud whisper that you're using. And when I use that term, what I mean is that you do it professionally. Respectfully. But you're making sure it's getting into the right audiences. I see you being a great representative of the thing that I wish we had more of, and I think it's minimizing. People used to say things like — they'd say a cuss word, or they'd be really gruff, and go, ‘Oh, it's okay, we're from the trades’ — with that inference that we're not professional or can't be professional. The way you're doing things today, Mr. Brown, you are showing people an aspirational view of the trades and the craft that we hold, and I really appreciate you for that. We don't have to say naughty jokes or be dirty to try to be funny. These are professionals. And I really see you bringing that to your podcast. I just want to honor you and thank you for that.”

“Working with Andrew as a shared media partner gives us so many more ways to amplify the impact that our members are making. He brings a real level of expertise to the conversation, and he’s incredibly easy to work with. I would say five stars.”

“It was a pleasure working with you on The Lost Art of the Skilled Trades. You brought a high level of professionalism, deep knowledge of the industry, and genuine thoughtfulness to every step of the process. From planning to production and asset delivery, everything was timely, well-organized, and handled with real courtesy — and it was especially meaningful to collaborate with someone who clearly shares our goal of supporting and elevating the skilled trades community.”

“Andrew made the entire process seamless, from providing a tailored discussion guide to delivering short-form clips after recording. The episode created a unique opportunity for our client to connect with Gen Z audiences interested in the trades through both the long-form style of the podcast and Andrew’s strong social media following. It was a pleasure to partner with Andrew on this impactful project.”
