#10-Kris Pooley

Join CHATA in this episode of The Sweat Shop as we welcome special guest Kris Pooley. Kris,now a skilled sparky (electrician), opens up about the challenges he's faced in life and the ways he has worked through them. He shares his journey through the mining industry, how he found his path to becoming an electrician, and the lessons learned along the way. Kris also talks about a life-changing moment—having his leg amputated—and how hitting the gym became a powerful tool in his recovery, resilience, and personal growth. Interestingly, Kris didn't always plan on this career—he takes us back to his time as a medic in Las Vegas, reflecting on the excitement, experiences, and fun that shaped his perspective before entering the trades.
