Just like the Brandon Carter episodes, this one was tailor made for me. Just got my CDL 8 months ago and been driving an 18 wheeler professionally for the last 7. Been OTR to 44 states and am making more now than i ever have in my life along with recruiters constantly hitting me up for more opportunities. Ive got my sights set on 3 once I get my year in, and haven't decided yet on which one I'm going to take. In either case, I'll be making 110k+ once I get that year in. I took my Hazmat Endorsement test and aced it 100% on the firsr shot last month. I'll be picking it up tomorrow in my home towns P.O Box. Afterwards I'll be heading to the DMV to pass my Tanker endorsement test to add that to my license as well. I absolutely owned 2022, 2023 and I will own 2024 as well. 💯 Let's work fellas 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

[@Sn1peSh0t112]

question: whats the ratio of time off compaired to the time you have to spend at work to make that 100K? as a new father myself i want to make that kind of money but i dont want to sacrafice my entire life just to do it

[@The_Humble_Hurricane]

​@Sn1peSh0t112 me being a single man with no kids, you already have the wrong mindset my guy. Worrying about days off is the reason so many of us aren't making that money already. Just being 💯. "Greater Later." Shout out to Brandon Carter. Put in the heavy work up front so that you can EARN those days off later and reap the benefits of your labor. AKA Earn Your Leisure. If you're a new father, you should have been grinding twice as hard as me well before your child got here. I've literally been grinding, planning, networking, taking notes, sacrificing HEAVILY, taking huge leaps of faith, destroying my comfort zones, lived out of my car for 4 years, got mentors while also mentioning others etc to ensure I intentionally put myself INTO position to be a deadly unshakable force for my children once I DO have them. I'm doing what it takes to make it happen while also keeping my moves aligned with my goals/passions that I excel at. Everything I'm doing is set on a path to get me where I ultimately aim to be when I have 4+ sources of income/passive income. Before anything else my brotha, shift that mindset to doing whatever it takes to solidify the future for yourself and your child. "Do what others aren't willing to do right now, so that you can do what others aren't able to do later" Whatever it takes ✊🏿💯🔥

This episode has been a long time coming and really opened my eyes to the fact that us men need to be focused on infrastructure/trade jobs instead of dreaming about becoming an artist/creator like most of us have. Trades are one of the most solid paths to becoming a millionaire that a man can do. On top of being useful, ethical, and masculine work unlike a lot of the arts/social media work.

I owe a paint company and had one for 12 years before moving out of the country for 4 years. I came back after a divorce, with nothing to my name, but my tools. I was able to rebuild my life in just 2 years. I have my kids 50% of the time and work the other 50%. I am able to afforrd a house on the bayside and raise 2 kids with working only half the time. Key is to specialize within the trade and stack equipment. I mainly do historic restoration and high end finishes.

[@DiceRoller96]

What state do you do work in? I own a paint company as well, but I’ve never heard of historic restoration. Sounds lucrative

[@anthonyfoti9718]

@DiceRoller96 I work in Florida. I originally was trained to paint in NJ and learned historic restoration there. Alot of it involves plaster work, trim fabrication, finish carpentry, restoring the original window and lead paint removal. Yes, there is a lot of money in it. It takes specialized training though and it's easy to screw up and damage something.

You can get your CDL for free depending on your state. Talk to the workforce of your state tell them your interested in getting your cdl. First interiew is to see your serious and see if it a good fit. Then for me was math, english and drug test. Then process begun, 3 weeks. If your state doesnt have it, get a liscense in another state where you got a friend or family. DO NOT GET A CDL THROUGH A TRUCKING COMPANY.

Just to squash the bit if misinformation about plumbers, you can't (at least in my state) get your journeyman license in 6 months. It requires proof if 8000 hours worked to even apply for the license test. But, most people with a journeyman license are knocking on the door of 6 figures if they aren't the master license holder for a shop. And he's right plumbers and electricians are allergic to each other. But there's a level of unspoken respect between them because they are 2 of the highest paid trades and the schooling required for each.

Get Mike Rowe ok from "Dirty Jobs" as a guest...

[@tinney2455]

I’m 24 now and made a 160k and 130k the year before. And I only work hard some days. And have a truck and housing payed for and am able to study and invest as I work. So even if this reaches one guy that’s in a slump get in the oil field in west Texas just can’t be a puss. Apply at many different places and find one you really like.

[@orogold330]

What do you do in the oil field specifically?

Fresh and Fit = Resilience! Proud of you guys!

[@Rekless07]

Awesome listen. FandF always bringing the knowledge

[@NoCoastElectric]

You can definitely make over 100k as an electrician easily. Ask me how I know.

[@truthoverall]

Loved this episode. Thor is undoubtedly a deep fountain of knowledge!

[@danielsanchez4414]

Make sure you know you are capable of doing rhis type of work im 22 journeyman carpenter but my body feels old

[@Corn_Pop]

Your show is invaluable to American men and men around the world. Thank you FnF

[@drunk-ghost9656]

Man I really wish I watched this live I have questions about the electrician trade

[@ChevyARt15]

Just because you missed this live doesn't mean you can't ask your question. Go and look for electricians and ask them personally. Fresh and Fit aren't the be-all and end-all, they just open your eyes to different opportunities that you don't realize are out there.

[@rickyb4849]

IMO we need trades back in the schools, some folks in my generation complain about low paying jobs but are unaware of great careers like this, hell I was lucky most of my family came from trades which is the reason I was able to get into one

[@Jiscold300]

All my guy that’s don’t want to go to school try to get ur foot into the oil&Gas Industry. Try to land on a rig or casing crew. It doesn’t matter if it’s drilling or work over you’ll make good money especially in North Dakota, Canada. There’s a bunch of other states too but those two are the highest paying.

[@josevcp1]

Great episode! Didn't know about many of these jobs. Would like it too if you can invite people to talk about STEM careers as well, for the US but also UK.

[@TheRealWilliamm]

I’m in Canada so I guess this just entertainment

[@Sn1peSh0t112]

how to make 6 figures in blue collar? own the buisness...the end.... i used to be a electrician until the week that i found out my boss was charging $300 a hr for MY labor not his not my coworkers MY LABOR because i could wire $50k chandaliers and not break a single piece of crystal, then complained that he gave be a $1hr raise for my year with him.....its a unregulated scam

[@deegs1749]

You’re forgetting that most people that have the skills to manage people and a business are in college at this point. Tradesmen often do a damn good job at what theyre told to do but struggle if not directed in my personal experience.

[@MSotelo503]

My Gym buddy is a ex power lineman. He had a goal 10 years go hard and step into the office. He paid off 2 houses and now he makes alot less but he said it physically demanding.

[@omarguerrero3186]

And there was this Reddit a hole talking about it’s the same thing stagnate all this hater stuff and they pop out with this fire 🔥 bro Reddit guy fr got bodied by fnf

[@itsrelativ3967]

Sounds amazing but no one tells you it takes a year to get accepted into certain trades apprenticeship.

[@luisvilla799]

Getting hired into trades is now like getting a corporate job it’s difficult

[@MSotelo503]

Just to add, a good friend of my Dad is a plumber and only does new constructions and get paid big money per house.

Home inspection is not bad. Some certified home inspectors make up to 6 figures. Thats what I'm studying for right now online. I received a roofing inspection certificate so far.
