Andrew Brown will change the world.

His mission is to upend how our educational, vocational and cultural views see the trades.

AI is coming for a lot of jobs.

Robotics are coming for a lot of jobs.

But the trades will be here for a long time - making them more attractive than ever.

Yet, the stigma lingers.

Go to college, get a high-paying job.

There are few college degrees that lead to high paying jobs - they usually lead to significant debt that has to be serviced by a low-paying career.

Most trades pay extremely well and in many cases, the work doesn't go home with you - it stays on the jobsite.

This reduces stress and improves family life.

Listen as Andrew shares why he chose to be a champion for trades - and support his mission!

Maurice Philogene is genuine.

He's one of those rare people who you meet that exceeds your expectations.

He's accomplished a lot in life. He's done things most of us wouldn't dream of doing.

He's only in his late 40's, there's much yet to be done for Maurice.

When he shares lessons on life, professionally, financially and to live life, he does it in a unique way.

He's just stating the facts.

We went into his background - what caused him to think this way?

What caused him to approach life with such patience, persistence and a view to the future?

What caused him to become a successful executive...

...then become a police officer at night?

Who does that??

How is Maurice financially independent at 47 years old?

How did he do this while working three jobs and raising a family?

He asked questions.

He did his homework.

He developed a plan.

He stuck to the plan.

So amazing in this world if instant gratification and "influencers."

I was not influenced by Maurice.

I was inspired.

He still drives his 2005 Lexus, because, well it, runs.

Could he drive something more flashy? Sure.

But that's not who he is.

He's one of the humblest, kindest, and intentional people I've met.

It was an honor to have him on the program, a stretch guest for sure.

Enjoy.

Some people want the ball at the end of the game.

They want to take THE shot.

Casey Jacox is that guy.

He's a quarterback.

He's a husband.

He's a dad.

He's found a way to tie all this together into a mission.

To help dad's "quarterback" their lives.

I fully support this mission.

Quarterbacks start each play with a plan - from a playbook.

When they step to the line, the plan makes sense or it doesn't depending on what they see from the defense.

Proceed as planned, or call an audible.

So goes husbandry.

So goes fatherhood.

Our plans may not be the right call.

We must adapt.

Casey and I talk about parenting - how we learned lessons as young men that shaped our approach as fathers.

And how we made mistakes and learned from them.

That's a solid episode of Eating Crow right there.

Follow Casey and his Quarterback Dad podcast...it's worth it.
