Wednesday, May 25 - Lunch with Built By Pros

Daily dumbass, this one out of Montana.

A 34-year-old guy named Robel Howard was staying in a motel 6 in Butte, Montana this past Monday.

This is key for the rest of this story.

Around noon, an employee saw him walking around outside naked, so his butte was exposed.

They told him that if he didn't want to put his clothes on, he needed to stay in his room.

Makes sense, right?

So he went back inside, but then he came out again a short time later, still showing his butte.

And probably something else too.

They had to talk to him a second time, and this time this is when he got a little ticked off.

Instead of going inside, he headbutted, I'm sorry, headbutted the employee, so they called the cops.

Still naked at this point when they showed up and arrested him, and he's facing assault charges.

Oh, it's great.

It gives them some camaraderie It really lifts spirits a lot and really shows

is that everybody is on the same page, on the same team, and we're working to the same goal, finish a good quality job.

I got a question.

If somebody wants to get involved in the trades, built by pros that kind of working with the younger kids, how young can you be to get involved in the trades?

Usually about 18 years old, you're going to want to have a high school diploma or a GED and be available for work.

It's about a five-year apprenticeship for most of the trades.

Free education, you don't pay anything for that apprenticeship.

And you get paid full benefits when you're working as an apprentice.

You work full time.

for a lifelong career, you can have a heck of a retirement when you're done.

Russ with us, the business manager of local sheet metal workers, local 263.

When we get on site like this and I see the smiles for Lodge, this is nothing better, right?

Yeah, it is a real good thing.

So when you get individuals that are out here and you're involved with the electricians, I actually talked to the gentleman who was pulling some cable here today.

He said that he had changed up his vocation at one point.

He said Built By Pros helps with that,

right?

Correct.

Built By Pros both focuses mainly on

recruitment, but not just individuals with no experience, but also individuals that have the journeyman level experience.

And you said too that it doesn't matter the age.

I mean, obviously if you're young and you're wanting to find a career, this is the way to go.

But then maybe you're wanting to change your career and you're a little bit older in life, right?

Yep, absolutely.

All demographics, any age groups, all of it.

Yeah, lunch
