Warning: This episode talks about death.

A Quick Note: This episode took me a long time to edit. During the recording of this episode, something tragic happened in my life that was very close to what Chris and I discussed. This episode was originally supposed to air in May but I could not bring myself to be able to finish the project. That being said, this might be one of my favorite interviews I have ever done. Death is something that a lot of us like to avoid because we hate the idea of dealing with it. This episode sheds some light on the subject and answers some questions that we will ultimately have when we deal with the loss of a loved one. Thank you for listening to this episode. – John

John is joined by Richard from the Language of Bromance! Instead of talking about podcasting in this episode, the guys sit down and discuss what it’s like to work in the food industry. Richard has pretty much done it all and has worked in every sort of establishment related with cooking and eating. Hear some of the horror stories, the hilarious moments, and what it’s like for a person who went to culinary school versus someone who started out in the business!

Welcome back to another episode of Podbros Promotions! You may recall listening to a more recent episode featuring PechaKucha Volume 30. On that episode, we heard from Dr. Paul Thomas about his business, Plum Health – Direct Primary Care. John asked Paul to come to our studio to talk a little bit more about what he does and how he does it. The two discuss Paul’s business, how he came to be a doctor, what his services have to offer, and plenty more.

Welcome back to a brand new episode! We are taking some time off from our labor and trade industry series but that doesn’t mean the episodes aren’t coming out. This episode is all about PechaKucha Detroit Volume 34. If you are new to this series, Podbros has teamed up with this organization to help record the audio of their events. PechaKucha is a simple presentation format of twenty slides/images where the speaker spends twenty seconds on each slide. In this episode, we will be hearing from several speakers at the even that took place at the Owl and the Raven. For more information on this particular event, click here.

Hi Everyone,

First, I have to say thank you to those that have been downloading and subscribing. It’s been great seeing the number of listens increase as this show starts to take off. Unfortunately, something has come up in my personal life right now that I need to concentrate on. So the trades and labor industry series has to be put on hold. I wish I could give an estimate of how long this will be placed on hold but I can’t at this moment. In the meantime, I will be adding episodes weekly – some that I have been waiting to upload after this latest series was over and others from Podbros Promotions where I originally got the idea for this podcast.

I hope you will check back in from time to time and I’m hoping to get back at editing, interviewing, and recording some of these great episodes.

I apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Thank you,

John

Have you ever wondered what happens when a machine breaks down in a shop that produces tons of parts per day? Or who has to handle all of the wiring in a building to make sure that everything is set up correctly? John talks with Armando Vasquez in this continuing series on jobs in the trade and labor industry. Armando found himself learning his trade while in the Marines. Once he got out, he applied his knowledge and positive attitude to getting a job through Michigan Works and was called back within a day. He explains to us what he does, the perks of the job, along with some of the realizations that come when dealing with electricity.

Welcome back to WDYDHDYDI! We are starting a new series within the show focusing on careers and jobs that don’t necessarily need a college background. If you listen to the news, many reporters and celebrity types are currently talking about how the trade industry is in need of people. Why is that? We’ll be exploring this question and more as we chat with people from all different type of trade backgrounds.

To kick off this series, we speak with Aviation Mechanic, Tony Vance, about his job and how he got into his career. We explore all of the options and what it takes to get these big birds up into the sky. Tony’s story is a unique one and a must-listen for anyone who has ever dreamt of working on airplanes.
