Give More Than You Take | Ted Pennell | 29 Mar 06, 2020

Show notes

Ted is a second-generation lineman. He’s originally from the East Coast of Canada. With a plane ticket, $3K in his pocket, and somewhere to sleep for two weeks, Ted moved west to become a Lineman.

Ted’s story is one that you just don’t hear of much these days. He literally packed up his life and moved west to become a Lineman. Fast forward 20 years, and he’s not only a Lineman, but he’s a company owner and someone who is continuously giving back to the trade that’s given so much to him.

Building a Career in Linework | Bruce Scott | 27 Feb 09, 2020

Show notes

Bruce’s career is a great example for everyone in the trade. The audience of this podcast is quite diverse, ranging from people just trying to get into the trade to those in an executive role. Bruce started digging holes for power poles almost 30 years ago and is now an executive for a major power line contractor. Bruce’s story isn’t linear. He has had a few setbacks, but through each setback he pushed himself further forward.

Linework provided Bruce the opportunity to travel the world. He’s stood in awe in the presence of silverback gorillas in the Congo, sat at the foot of the pyramids of Egypt, and bobbed around in a cage as great whites swam within inches.

Each setback in his career could have been the end, but he wouldn’t accept it. He’s a lineman, and this industry is his passion.

Passion Equals Linework and Motorcycles | Don "Red Dog" McLennan | 26 Jan 27, 2020

Show notes

Some of you out there will recognize Red Dog. If you’re part of the Quanta family and have spent any time at the Lazy Q ranch doing Barehand training, then you’ve probably been taught by him. He has performed all aspects of the trade over the course of his career and is now a world-class trades trainer.

Listen to Red Dog’s story of growing up. The son of a lineman. His dad would often take him for rides in helicopters and on the right-of-ways of the 500kV transmission lines he was building across British Columbia.

He would later go on to become a lineman himself, and from the moment he could ride a bike, he never looked back.

Enjoy eps 26 of Powerline Podcast and make sure you listen to the intro for a special announcement that has been a while in the making.
