from Powerline Podcast · host Ryan Lucas

What does it actually take to step into the workforce and earn respect from day one?In this special panel episode, Ryan hosts a diverse group of leaders at the LazyQ Ranch for a candid conversation with high school rodeo athletes preparing to enter the world beyond the arena. The panel brings together a World Champion Barrel Racer, Jordon Briggs, a 24-Time World Champion Roper, Jackie Crawford, a Marine Corps Veteran & Quanta Services Veteran Advisor, Donny Farmer, a 26-Year Journeyman Lineman & Quanta Services Superintendent, Kyle Seaward, and a 28-Year Journeyman Lineman & Quanta Energized Services Advisor, Rob Mitchell, all sharing the hard-earned lessons they wish someone had told them starting out.Together they dig into what real leadership looks like before you ever get a job title, how your reputation will follow you everywhere in a trade that's smaller than you think, why emotional control is a skill as important as any technical one, and how gratitude, punctuality, and follow-through can separate you from the crowd faster than talent alone.Topics covered:What leadership looks like without a titleBehaviors that build trust fast, and destroy it fasterWhy your reputation will beat you to the next job siteControlling emotions under pressure: breathing, preparation, and mindsetCommunication skills that can save lives in the line tradeWhy gratitude is a daily practice, not a feelingAdvice from five high-performers on what they'd tell their younger selves✌️SUPPORT THE PODCAST HERE ✌️ 📱FOLLOW THE PODCAST ON SOCIAL MEDIA📱Instagram:  ⁠⁠⁠@powerlinepodcast⁠⁠TikTok:  ⁠⁠@powerlinepodcast⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠@powerlinepodcast⁠⁠LinkedIn:  ⁠⁠⁠Powerline Podcast⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠@Powerline-Podcast⁠⁠X:  ⁠⁠@PowerlinePodcst⁠⁠HOST: RYAN LUCASInstagram: ⁠⁠@ryanwlucas⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠@ryanwlucas⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠Ryan Lucas⁠⁠💥INQUIRIES OR GUEST SUGGESTION💥Email: ⁠[email protected]
