Episode 10, part 1 – John Mackey sits down with Nolan Mackey, his son and Founder of UpLadder, a platform dedicated to the skilled trades and resources to help them manage their growth, development, and training required in their field.

During this chat, Nolan and John have a lot to talk about and ended up being over 60 minutes of content. Most people don’t have the attention span to listen that long, so we broke this chat into two parts.

In Part 1, we get into:

  • Learning more about Nolan
  • His transition out of college and how he found himself carving a path into the fire protection industry
  • How he leveraged his experiences as a fire extinguisher technician and his entrepreneurial mindset to create a platform to address industry challenges with labor and skilled technicians
  • We also get a cameo of my daughter’s dog, Sadie.

Thank you for joining us on this Episode of the TMG Fireside Chat. We hope you enjoy it…

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
