Description
On this week's podcast, Matt and Travis Brungardt of Catalyst Built out of Prairie Village, Kansas, go deep into the trade deficit and how we get more younger people to join the trades.
Travis and his partner Joe are some of the few builders with trade licenses. They have a master electrician, master HVAC, master plumber, and a GC license between them.
Matt and Travis talk about the scope of the issue and how the lack of younger tradespeople affects the industry. They discuss why we have a nationwide shortage of skilled labor and how we, as builders, can address it.
Take a few minutes to listen in and think about what you can do to interest a young person in the trades. What project are you working on?

Episode 1: Matt's Story - Part 1: The Build Show Podcast is here! In today’s episode I wanted to take some time to introduce myself, Matt Risinger, and share my story of how I got to where I am today. I talk all about my first building experience, back when I was in Junior High working on some porches for locals, my journey through college, my first real grad job working for a national building company (where I stayed for 7 years and learnt a lot!), and the idea to start my own company too. So, if you’re new to the Build Show, welcome! We post content daily over on Build Show Network and twice a week on my personal Youtube channel, Matt Risinger. by The Build Show Podcast
