The skilled trades have always been the backbone of America. Every day, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical teams solve problems, serve their communities, and keep homes and businesses running. Yet, despite the vital role they play, the people behind the work rarely have the opportunity to tell their stories.
That’s exactly why the podcast, #ProudToBeBlueCollar® show, was created.
More Than Industry Talk
The #ProudToBeBlueCollar® Show, isn’t another podcast focused on equipment, products, or technical training. It’s about the people who make the trades what they are.
Hosted by Chris Crew, President of The Blue Collar Success Group®, and Jeremy Self, Blue Collar’s Coaching and Training Manager, the podcast shines a spotlight on the people who make the home services industry one of the most rewarding and impactful professions in the country. Every episode features honest conversations with technicians, dispatchers, customer service representatives, business owners, and industry leaders who share their journeys, the challenges they’ve overcome, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.
It’s about the technician who found confidence through a career in the trades, the dispatcher who keeps everything running behind the scenes, the CSR who creates an unforgettable first impression for every customer, and the owner who built a thriving company through perseverance, leadership, and a commitment to serving others.
Told with humor, insight, and openness, these authentic conversations remind us that every successful business is built by people who care deeply about what they do. They’re also a powerful reminder that success in the trades isn’t measured solely by revenue or growth. It’s measured by lives changed, families supported, customers served, and communities strengthened.
One Question. Countless Inspiring Stories.
Every episode begins with the same simple question: “Why are you proud to be Blue Collar?”
The answers are never the same. Some guests describe finding a career that gave them financial freedom and purpose. Others talk about building businesses from the ground up, while some are proudly continuing a family legacy. All of them, however, share a common thread, their work has become far more than a job. It’s become a calling.
And at the end, no matter how different each journey may be, every conversation shares the same heartfelt sentiment: “#ProudToBeBlueCollar®.”
