Our next guest is one of the most down to earth human beings I know. We met as fresh EMTs on the ambulance back in 2012. We talk about his journey through emergency medicine and how his attention to detail and no BS attitude led him to a foreman role at the Stockyard Materials facility. He also shares the benefits of being part of Local 150, a very strong international union for operating engineers. Please enjoy my conversation with Anthony Barbara.
