Summary

In today’s show, we interview special guest Brennan Machemer. Brennan entered into plumbing trade school after graduating. After years of working during the day and school at night, he eventually got his journeymen card and recently secured his master plumber license. However, even the best master plumber can be the worst motivator. We take time to hear how Brennan not only stays motivated himself, but uses that gift to encourage others around him. Currently serving as a field supervisor with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Lancaster, PA, Brennan is responsible for the morale and leadership of his team. Brennan shares his perspective on what gets him up in the morning and what keeps him going through the day.
