Welcome to the Sparky Life podcast with your host, Lia Lamela! In this episode, we dive into a crucial topic that everyone should be aware of: the coming biggest recession in United States history and why construction workers and skilled trade professionals are positioned to be the ultimate survivors. We break down the economic storm, the fascinating theory of K-waves, and discuss how events and figures like Warren Buffett's cash holdings and the presidency of Donald Trump play a role.

Tune in to understand:

  • Why historical cycles and market trends point towards an economic downturn.
  • The significance of the Kondratiev wave (K-wave) and what past cycles tell us.
  • Why the slowing housing market, inflation, and corporate layoffs are key indicators.
  • The potential impact of Donald Trump's presidency on the timing and severity of the crash.
  • Crucially, why construction jobs are recession-proof.
  • Actionable strategies for those in the skilled trades to not just survive, but thrive during an economic downturn, including getting more certifications, building a strong network, and managing your finances wisely.

This is a must-listen for anyone in the construction industry or considering a career in the skilled trades!

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
