What does it really take to build an industry where everyone has a place? In this episode of Build Without Barriers, host Kris Georgeson sits down with Brett Wright, Director of Brett Wright Electric, ABC Southern California board member, and Chair of the Trades For All Committee, for an honest conversation about leadership, opportunity, and changing the culture of construction from the inside out. Brett shares how a single ride in a neighbor's pickup truck at age 15 turned into a 34-year career as an electrician, and how the trades have shifted from a "toughen up or get out" mentality to the supportive, welcoming crews he believes the industry's future depends on. He and Kris dig into the barriers that keep people out of the trades, what eight years in the classroom taught him about reaching every kind of learner, and how programs like the Delta Tours and the ERiCA Grant are opening doors for women, veterans, returning citizens, and neurodivergent workers across California. Brett also gets candid about hiring his company's first woman electrician, why he waited longer than he should have, and what convinced him there's a role in the trades for everyone. Whether you're exploring a career, guiding someone who is, or working to make your own jobsite more inclusive, this conversation is a reminder that the future of construction isn't just about building projects. It's about building people. Learn more and explore career pathways at TradesForAll.org.
