from The Marshmallow Cast
In this episode of The Marshmallow Cast, we get brutally honest about what it really takes to succeed in the trades—and why so many people get stuck being “marshmallows.”With more people than ever trying to enter HVAC, electrical, and skilled trades (often as a second career), we break down the uncomfortable truths no one tells you:Why getting into the trades often means taking steps backward before moving forwardWhy sales—not tools—separates average tradespeople from top earnersThe real reason people struggle after trade schoolWhat the most successful people in the trades actually do differentlyWhy communication, organization, and presentation matter more than technical skill aloneAnd why “just wanting to tinker” won’t change your lifeWe also talk about age, mindset, career paths, money, and the mistake of following the crowd instead of trusting your path. If you’re thinking about getting into the trades—or you’re already in and wondering why you’ve hit a ceiling—this episode is your reality check.This one’s not sugar-coated. No fluff. No marshmallows.
