Discover how a week in Augusta, Georgia, highlighted the deeper connections within the trades industry and set the stage for an unprecedented Builders Convention.
This past week, I had the privilege of spending time in Augusta, Georgia, where I met two incredible men: Joe Felz and Julian Brown. What brought us together wasn’t just electricity, solar, or tools.... It was the trades. The kind of bond only built when people share a purpose bigger than themselves.
The connection we felt went beyond the jobsite. It was about a shared commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. We were all there to not just talk about projects or panels, but to dive deep into what this industry really means. And for all the boots on the ground who think construction is just about building... Well you’re right. It is. But it’s also about something deeper.
Let me tell you something: Southern hospitality is real. Joe and his family welcomed me like one of their own, and it reminded me of something we forget in the day-to-day & this industry is built on more than work.
It’s built on people.
Over the past few days, our conversations transcended professional talk. We shared stories, experiences, and even meals that fortified our connections. This experience wasn't just a professional engagement but a personal one, setting the stage for lasting friendships and professional alliances.
Behind every jobsite is science, theory, and experimentation. The skilled trades are rooted in discipline and discovery. We ask questions, solve real-world problems, and then we bring those answers to life with our hands. That’s what makes it powerful.
Understanding the principles that make those blueprints possible. The trades involve a unique blend of art and science, where skilled hands and innovative minds come together to create something truly impactful.
Our time in Augusta was a preview of what’s to come.
This experience laid the groundwork for The Builders Convention, happening June 30 – July 2, 2025, in Dallas, Texas. And trust me ... What we’re building has never been done before.
The Builders Convention will offer exclusive access to expert-led sessions and unbeatable networking opportunities. Join 1,000+ skilled trades professionals for the event of the year and learn the latest trends, tools, and technologies shaping the future of the trades. From technical training and in-depth code classes to hands-on workshops and leadership development, the convention is designed to empower the trades movement.
