Larry Smith, Crane Operator and Project Manager for Wilkerson Crane Rental in Kansas City, KS, and member of International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local Union 101 discusses his start in the trades along with how others can get started as well as why it might be a fit.Larry accredits his father for instilling in him a solid work ethic and financial values that led to more opportunities for advancement in the crane industry, financial success, and overall enjoyment and accomplishment throughout his life - even though he graduated high school as soon as possible as he didn't feel that it was making the most of his time or abilities. Apprenticeship training is one path, Larry says, to achieve your goals and dreams toward a stable, secure future. He discusses options for industrial career entry, and also talk about the pros and cons along the way. A very open and honest episode that Larry hopes will assist others in learning more about the industrial trades, and as he says, "give it a shot... what have you got to lose?"That's Riggin' Awesome Links: Website: www.RigginAwesome.comPodcast: https://rigginawesome.buzzsprout.com/Vidcast: https://www.YourTube.com/c/thatsrigginawesomeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RigginAwesomeLinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thats-riggin-awesomeEpisode Sponsor: Wilkerson Crane Rental The premier crane rental company of the greater Kansas City area.
