Level Up - Episode 6: Talking Trades With Got Electric

In this episode of Level Up, Desmond Stinnie and Addison Wiggin sit down with Desmond's longtime friend and trades entrepreneur Grant Gotlinger, founder of Got Electric LLC. What begins as a personal reunion turns into an insightful conversation about Grant’s decision to leave college after his first year at Towson University, his journey into the electrical trades, and the long road to building a successful contracting business. Grant reflects on the realities of working in the field, the entrepreneurial lessons learned through experience, and why the trades offer a viable, rewarding, and often overlooked path to ownership and financial stability. It’s an honest, empowering conversation that redefines what it means to build success—on your own terms.
