    Captain

    Captain
    In the year 1960, Kolkata was a city of contrasts. Was it a place where the past met the present? Amit, an engineer, found himself at the docks one night. The sudden appearance of a mysterious ship left everyone in awe. What secrets did it hold, and why was it there? As Amit explored the ship, he found it well-maintained, almost untouched by time. What did this mean, and what was its message? Tune in to Listen.

    Blue Collar Cash - Ken Rusk

    Blue Collar Cash - Ken Rusk

     Welcome to Grit Nation, the Building Trades Podcast. 

    I’m Joe Cadwell, the writer, producer, and host of the show and today I have the pleasure of speaking with Ken Rusk.  

    Ken is a blue-collar career choice advocate, construction industry entrepreneur and the author of Blue-Collar Cash which details how you can…. Love Your Work, Secure Your Future and Find Happiness for Life. 

    We’ll start today’s conversation by learning about Ken’s background and how his passion for hard work and construction earned him the nickname “The Million Dollar Ditch Digger”.

     We’ll then unpack the lessons Ken learned from a lifetime in the trades that enabled him to write his book, and how these lessons have been useful in his current role as a life coach and mentor to those interested in pursuing a career as a blue-collar tradesperson. 

    Next, we’ll discuss the downside of buying into the oversold notion that the only pathway to professional pride and financial security is through a college degree and why now more than ever blue-collar jobs and the people who can do the work are in such great demand. 

    Later, Ken will explain the importance of detailed visualization in helping you map out a future that will bring you Comfort, Peace and Freedom. 

    And we’ll end our conversation by leaning what Ken’s definition of success is and why he is so passionate about helping people achieve their dreams regardless of their educational background or past.

    Pray for Laborers - Part 4

    Pray for Laborers - Part 4

    Even if we can’t personally meet a need, we can pray for God to send laborers to meet it! In this episode Nate and Gabe exhort us to take time to allow God to share His heart of love and compassion for others with us. How is God stirring your heart? Has He given you a burden for a specific area? As He moves on your heart, pray!

    Our natural response when we see needs is usually to summon our human energy and attempt to “do something” to meet the need. But we will see in this command that the first thing we are instructed to do is to “pray to the Lord of the harvest.” As we pray, the Lord is not only able to give us His heart and perspective, but our prayers also enable Him to move in people and circumstances in ways that we never could!

    Pray for Laborers - Part 3

    Pray for Laborers - Part 3

    One of the greatest things we can do for others is to pray for them. As Oswald Chambers said, “Prayer isn’t preparation for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.” In this encouraging episode, Nate and Gabe cover practical questions such as, “How do we pray for laborers?” And “What are we to pray for laborers?” Through prayer, we can actually play a huge role in the labors of other people!

    Pray for Laborers - Part 2

    Pray for Laborers - Part 2

    A huge aspect of this command is found in John 4:35, “Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” We are often so busy and so focused on ourselves that we miss what God is doing in the lives of people around us. Join Nate and Gabe as they exhort God’s people to “lift up our eyes” and participate with the Lord of the harvest in what He is doing in our day.

    Pray for Laborers - Part 1

    Pray for Laborers - Part 1

    God desires all to enter into the Kingdom - He desires that all would enter into relationship with Him! When we begin to see God’s heart and desire for all people, then we begin to have compassion for people as Jesus did. Listen as Nate and Gabe share how this heart of compassion lays the foundation upon which Jesus commands us to pray for laborers.

    Hillary and Tina cover the Snow Riot of 1835 and Operation Wetback Hillary’s Story In 1835, white workers faced poor wages and long hours. BUT instead of fighting for labor laws, they took their anger out on black run businesses in Washington, D.C. known as the Snow Riot.

    Andrew and Edwin recognize we sometimes want to rely on money, riches, and wealth instead of God. But David addresses this directly. Don't do it!

    We 'Dem Ones

    We 'Dem Ones

    Jesus said the harvest is plenty but the laborers are few.  I think we have a faulty presumption as believers that we are God's laborers just because we are saved and try to live for God.  Being a laborer for God has little to do with our salvation and more to do with our willingness to bring others home to Him.  Labor is intense and can be hard which is often why so many don't labor but would prefer to ignore the harvest.  It's a rather selfish thing when we only desire to eat the food but won't clean the dishes afterwards.  Hope this episode pricks our hearts and sticks to our soul.

    Worked Over - Jamie McCallum

    Worked Over - Jamie McCallum

    Today I have the pleasure of speaking with professor of sociology at Middlebury College, workers’ rights activist, and the author of two books on labor, Jamie McCallum

    Jamie’s latest effort titled, Worked Over: How Round-the-Clock Work is Killing the American Dream; addresses the loss of agency the average American worker has in managing their work - life balance and why labor’s next big battle may not just be about wages but about time too. 

    We’ll start our conversation by understanding the give and take relationship labor and management have shared over the ages and how this paradigm shifted from the agrarian task-based formula to a “time is money” model with the advent of clocks. 

    Next, we’ll investigate the 1970’s resurgence of Corporate Class Power and how it has led to the extremes in income inequality we see today and how this resurgence has led to a dynamic which enables a CEO to make over 350 times what the average worker does. 

    Later, we’ll discuss the triple threat that is unique to US workers and how over scheduling, under scheduling and volatile work hours contribute to work instability and why the American Dream is alive in well in other nations but is falling further away from the grasp of many Americans. 

     And we’ll finish our conversation by discussing why Jamie believes “we should redesign our economy so that trading most of our waking hours for money, isn’t the only pathway to a dignified life,”
