Welcome to the special fine home building podcast, the Keep Craft Alive podcast,

conversations with skilled, passionate trades people about their work. By igniting a passion for the

trades, KeepCraft Alive is helping to close the skills gap. Here's Rob Yeaget, hosted the Keep Craft Alive podcast.

Hey, this is Rob Yaget, and this is the Keep Craft Alive podcast, where I introduce you to some of the most talented and passionate individuals who are shaping a residential design and building scene.

I meet many of the people I speak with through fine home building, and their work to inform and empower those who design, build, and remodel.

Guests on the show will include builders, architects, consultants, tradesmen and women, educators, building scientists,

and pretty much anyone who is upholding the values of true craftsmanship in an effort to build better homes and a better building

community. With the Keep Craft Live program, we've partnered with industry organizations

and our network across the country to build awareness of the professional opportunities

in the residential construction industry. And we fund student scholarships to support those

who want to pursue careers in the trades with our partner skills USA.

If you want to help support the next generation of craftsmen and women, visit

keepcraftalive.org for more information and to donate to the cause.

And feel free to reach out to me directly by dropping a note to info at keepcraftalive.org.
