Would definitely tune in. I’d love to hear more of the real-life side of the work—especially stories that show the grit, the risk, and the passion that goes into the tree industry.Stuff like:What it actually takes to work from height dailyWorst horror story you’ve seen from a job siteHow guys stay sharp near live power (I heard a few tree teams are even required to take electrical safety courses because they’re working so close to the lines)Also think people would be interested in the business side—how tree companies handle insurance, equipment costs, scaling a crew without burning out.Even if someone’s not in your exact field, those are the stories that connect and build trust fast. Let us know when you launch it.

I’d love to hear more of the real, gritty side of the work, not just the highlight reel. Stories from the field like close calls, job site mistakes, or those “we’ll laugh about this someday” moments would be awesome. I’m also interested in what it takes to work at height all day, physically and mentally, and how crews stay sharp when working near live power lines. It’d be great to hear about the gear too, what’s actually worth the money and what’s not. And on the business side, I’d be curious how tree companies deal with insurance, manage overhead, scale their crews without burning out, and price their work in a way that’s sustainable. Even for folks not in tree work, hearing how operators scale in a tough, hands-on trade builds a lot of respect and connection. Let us know when you drop the first episode, I’m in!
