Welcome to another engaging session of Conscious Not Crazy! Today, I am thrilled to have two exceptional guests, Brice Dawson and Skylor Alexander, who are making waves in the construction industry in Kansas City. Skylor, owner of Stag Homes, shares his unique journey from growing up in a blue-collar family to becoming a general contractor. He emphasizes the vital role of early exposure to trades and the challenges of finding reliable workers. Skylor praises Brice for his consistency and leadership. Brice, on the other hand, recounts his upbringing in a family home-building business, highlighting how this background gave him unique insights into construction and customer relations.
Listen in as we delve into diverse career paths, especially within education and the construction industry. The discussion underscores the crucial importance of vocational training and hands-on experiences as viable alternatives to traditional college education. Through personal anecdotes, we highlight how success in trades can be achieved without accumulating significant student debt. We also discuss the need for educational systems to focus on emotional intelligence and practical skills, illustrated by real-world learning experiences provided through collaborations with schools. This emphasis on vocational training will leave you feeling informed and enlightened about the diverse career paths available.
Finally, we touch on the innovative approaches of unique school systems, from preschool to elementary levels, that foster autonomy and confidence in children. The conversation also covers personal career journeys, showing how diverse skills and experiences contribute to professional growth and adaptability. By sharing stories of career evolution from teaching and sales to brewing and construction, we stress the importance of lifelong learning and adaptability in today's rapidly changing world, motivating us to prepare for the future. Join us for a compelling discussion on how real-world education programs and diverse career paths can shape the future for the younger generation.
