Ryan sits down with JJ Harrison, pro rodeo clown, master communicator, and Quanta Services ambassador for one of the most unexpected and inspiring conversations in Powerline Podcast history.JJ has spent 20+ years performing at the highest levels of pro rodeo, including the National Finals. He's a stand-up comedian on the world's most dangerous stage, dodging bulls while keeping thousands entertained.

He talks about the line school at LazyQ, scholarships for the next generation, and why linemen deserve the same celebration as soldiers and first responders.Topics covered:- JJ's path from teacher to rodeo clown to Quanta ambassador.- Communication skills every tradesman needs.- Crew culture, "crew flu," and team-first leadership.- The Quanta Express stagecoach and its mission in the trades.- LazyQ Ranch line school and next-gen workforce development.- Why supply and demand makes the trades the best career decision right now.- Physical longevity, recovery, and why you have to keep moving.✌️SUPPORT THE PODCAST HERE ✌️ Hit up our website here:https://www.powerlinepodcast.com/ 📱FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA📱TikTok:  / powerlinepodcast Instagram:  / powerlinepodcast Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...LinkedIn:  / powerline-podcast Twitter:  / powerlinepodcst HOST: RYAN LUCASInstagram: / ryanwlucas TikTok: / ryanwlucas 💥INQUIRIES OR GUEST SUGGESTION💥Email: [email protected]
