TMG Fireside Chat with Nolan Mackey, my son and Founder of UpLadder, Part 2

Episode 10, part 2 – John continues his chat 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 2, we get into his UpLadder platform and other topics:

• What he’s learned by working with and talking to technicians
• He makes a shout out to Jeff Wyatt, CEO of CertaSite and a LinkedIn post that resonated with him
• We get into how fire protection contractors can support technicians and help them manage careers in fire protection
• What company’s can do to engage his generation – under 25 years old.
  • Communicate
  • Be transparent
  • Train, develop, retain and,
  • Two-way mentorship
• Finally, he shares his experiences at his first industry conferences – NAFED and NFPA where he highlights the core strength of our industry and relationships.

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