Episode 1 | Real Trade Talk with an IBEW Journeyman

In Episode 1 of Trade Talk, I sit down with Brody Rutledge — better known online as Union Strong — to have a real conversation about the trades. We get into the realities of working in the skilled trades, what people don’t see from the outside, and the conversations that actually matter to those in the field. No fluff, no corporate spin — just honest talk from someone living it. This series is about bringing transparency to the trades, sharing real experiences, and highlighting the people who keep this industry moving. If you’re in the trades, thinking about getting in, or just want a real perspective from the field, this one’s for you. #IBEW #UnionStrong #SkilledTrades #TradeTalk #BlueCollar #ElectricianLife #UnionElectrician #Tradesmen #ConstructionLife #Apprenticeship #UnionLife #BlueCollarPride #WorkingClass
