The Wealthy Ironworker
I have been researching and writing for over 7 years at www.thewealthyironworker.com, sharing my unique perspective as a union ironworker on a wide variety of topics. For a lot of those years, I've heard numerous times, "You should start a podcast." So, here it is. I discuss a lot of different topics - and I hope you will join The Wealthy Ironworker as I Explore Beyond The Veil of Composure.

There are a lot of misconceptions about unions, and after 22 years, I've heard many of them.
This episode is the first of a multi-episode series where I explore those misconceptions and address them head-on
Join me as I kick off this series.
Have you ever been around someone who has asked a lot of questions and wondered why?
Have you ever really thought about the power of questions?
In this episode, we discuss why most people don't ask questions, the benefits of asking questions, and some scenarios where - if we asked more questions - we'd save ourselves a lot of trouble.
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be in the skilled trades? What it's like to be an apprentice? What opportunities are out there for you?
Apprentice Jermain Marshall sits down on The Wealthy Ironworker and tells us his story.
In this episode, I talk about the generational warfare and how it's breaking down the social compact.
Younger people get judged a lot, but older folks have enormous responsibility in what's going on.
Have you ever stopped and wondered what wealth actually is?
Most of us believe it's money - but is that all? Is there more to wealth - REAL wealth - that enriches our lives to a greater degree?
I believe there is. In this episode, I explore other forms of wealth that many never even truly consider, many which we sacrifice on the altar of pursuing money.
