Mark Dent: Journalist for The Hustle, New York Times, and NPR on the future of the Blue Collar Trades

Mark Dent, journalist for The Hustle, recently interviewed Eric for an article on the future of the blue collar trades. The article focused on the scarcity of younger generations getting into the trades. We are potentially headed for a crisis in America, due to lack of skilled tradespeople, that could result in a lack of services for all of us. According to Forbes the economy in the blue collar industries will lose $1.5 trillion by 2028 due to lost revenue which will be caused by the inability to service accounts due to lack of workers. In this episode we cover what role technology can have in making the trades "sexy" to young workers, and how to market our industries to Millennials and Gen Z.  Sponsored by https://morningtechmeeting.comTITLE SPONSOR:Super Tech UniversityDramatically improve your team's performance with a system of short daily video lessons training your team in soft skills.
