6.8 Boots & Books: Different Paths, Same Industry

from Give Us The Dirt Hosted by Brandon Lindsey

What does it take to build a career in construction? For some, it starts in the classroom. For others, it begins in the trench. In this episode of Give Us the Dirt, three HGC team members reflect on how their individual journeys shaped their paths into the industry. From earning a degree in project management and navigating the challenges of transitioning into the field, to beginning hands-on utility work at just 18 years old and rising into senior leadership, this conversation highlights the value of both education and experience. Together, they discuss how passion, persistence, and practical knowledge influence growth, credibility, and leadership on today’s jobsites. It’s an honest look at how different starting points can lead to meaningful, long-term careers in construction — and how each path brings its own strengths to the table.
