Episode 16: A Big Concern in Blue Collar Industry with Andy Weins

In this episode, Steve and Brad welcome Andy Weins, the owner of Green Up Solutions. Andy is a US Army veteran. He is a Millennial but declares himself to be a mid-generational individual. There is a big concern in blue-collar space as it comes down to the workforce. How can we encourage people to try something in the blue-collar space? The problem is with the conditioning that society has put on people at a young age. They measure success on college placement rates, not on is the person doing what they would put on his heart to do. Too often, we do not allow our children to pursue their happiness. Happiness is the determination of success. Are you happy?

Episode Summary

05:27 - In the 1990s and 2000s, there’s been an “I’m better than you” mindset. But I think that’s been broken over the last 15 years when we realized that we pushed so many people to college, and now no one knows how to fix a car.

10:13 - We got to encourage them to be what they want to be.

13:43 - If you love doing the thing you do, awesome! And then you find alignment with that. You do not need balance when you have alignment.

18:19 - You got to have an abundance mindset. The abundance that you have the knowledge to share with the world, and the abundance that there is always work in front of you.

26:12 - Embrace people individually, be amazed by what they do when you allow them to flourish.
