About this episode
Jesse McKeral isn’t just a lineman.
He’s a teacher. A safety leader. And one of the most recognizable voices in the trade online through his platform @afewclickslow.
In this episode of the Powerline Podcast, we talk about:
• What mentors did right and wrong when we were coming up
• The biggest mistakes apprentices are making today
• Why safety and operations shouldn’t be at odds
• What linemen misunderstand about moving into leadership
• How social media is changing the way the trade learns
• And why visibility matters more than ever for the future of linework
Jesse shares honest lessons from the pole, the classroom, and the safety side of the industry.
If you care about training better apprentices, building trust in safety roles, and elevating the next generation of linemen this one’s for you.
