Are Blue Collar Businesses Under-Appreciated? - Tom Reber
My guest on the show today is Tom Reber. You may have heard of him. He hosts the Contractor Fight Podcast, speaks at many conferences, and has become a pretty well known guy in our space. Tom runs a program not unlike our beloved Breakthrough Academy, but for slightly smaller businesses. In fact, you could even call him our competitor (Ahh, the horror 😱).

Tom runs a program not unlike our beloved Breakthrough Academy, but for slightly smaller businesses. In fact, you could even call him our competitor (Ahh, the horror 😱).
Here’s the thing though. We tell our contractors to collaborate with the competition and raise the entire industry on a daily basis, and the same rule applies to us. Practice what you preach.
Tom is a phenomenal guy with a message you all should hear loud and clear, and we were lucky to have him. You can expect to learn the following from my conversation with Tom:
- Why trades and construction play one of the most essential roles in a functioning western society but get almost no credit for it
- How we overestimate how much we can accomplish in a year but underestimate what’s possible in a decade
- And how to make trades cool again in the eyes of our young people, our clients, and ourselves
