In the debut episode of T Spark Talks, Ben and Travis sit down to share their personal journeys into the construction world and why they launched this new podcast. From framing homes in Pennsylvania to serving as a Navy Seabee, from law enforcement to running a thriving Tallahassee construction business, their stories reveal how diverse paths can lead to the same passion: building strong communities.
They discuss the importance of listening to clients, creating trust, and solving problems—skills often overlooked in the contracting world. The hosts also highlight the labor shortage in the trades, the push for apprenticeship programs, and why construction is a rewarding career path often more practical than a college degree.
