316. Boomin' Out w/ Boom Nation

In this weeks episode I'm chatting with David Johnson from BoomNation.  In this episode we discuss the growing demand for skilled tradespeople and the limitations of AI in replacing manual labor. We also discusses the challenges of social media fame and the importance of authenticity in the trades. David explains how BoomNation serves as a liaison between industry and workers, matching candidates with companies based on their skills and preferences. He emphasizes the value of reputation, soft skills, and professionalism in the trades.   Boomnation Website Click Here   Arc Junkies Podcast: Instagram: @Arcjunkiespodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@arcjunkiespodcast9253 Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-becker-45407b72?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3BKipEwR3uQXCmCjaEfNzo6w%3D%3D Arc Junkies Website: https://arcjunkies.com Arc junkies Merch: https://shop.threadmob.com/arcjunkie/shop/home Underground Metal Works: https://www.underground-metalworks.com/   Friends of the Show: Rockmount Research and Alloys, Inc.
