Working hard matters. Burning yourself out doesn’t. Long-term success in the trades is about sustainability — pacing yourself, protecting your health, and staying in the work for the long haul.

Real confidence isn’t something you fake or rush. It’s built job by job, over time. Feeling unsure usually means you care — and that’s a good thing. Keep learning. The confidence will follow.

Comparison has a way of distorting reality. Real progress in the trades is built slowly — through repetition, mistakes, and steady effort. What you’re building right now matters, even if it doesn’t look impressive yet.

Early seasons can feel discouraging, especially when your effort isn’t visible yet. But quiet consistency is how real confidence is built in the trades. Keep learning. Keep showing up. What you’re building compounds, even when it feels slow.

The work itself is hard — but the isolation can be heavier. If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying everything by yourself, you’re not broken. You’re human. There’s a quiet community of contractors who care about quality and balance, even if we don’t always see each other.

I’m Martin. I’m a contractor, and I’ve worked around this industry most of my life. This channel exists to encourage and help the next generation build steady, meaningful lives in the trades.

Many young contractors quietly wonder if this work still matters. It does. More than most people realize. There’s a real need for steady, skilled people who care about quality. If you’re learning, showing up, and trying to build something honest, you’re not behind. You’re early.

@ShawnRyanShow 1. No voting fraud. 100% secure elections 2. No divide in justice, between we the people and elected officials. You do the crime-you pay. no matter your position.

What would rebuild public trust the most?

@hubermanlab That’s good to know. But for me it has more to do with helping my sinuses drain 😅

All you side sleepers with your head slightly elevated by your pillow, bed tilt etc. are naturally selecting the sleep position that meaningfully increases glymphatic clearance & thus reduces upon-waking brain fog, circles under eyes, etc. Spooning optional.

This is the key visual. Locking the clock is better than switching twice a year. Whether you prefer standard or daylight savings is perhaps a matter of personal preference but the data on mental health in adults and kids say standard is better.

@JackCarrUSA @prattprattpratt Not quite so dark please

Behind the scenes of DARK WOLF with Taylor Kitsch and @prattprattpratt after a day of slaying bad guys in episode 7. Would you like a second season?

@laurenboebert Me too!

We need an EO to keep DST! I do not EVER want to fall back again. LOCK THE CLOCK

@SenTomCotton That’s three towns…what about the rest of the world?

With permanent Daylight Savings Time, for three months out of the year, kids in West Arkansas towns like Bentonville, Fayetteville, and Fort Smith would start school in the dark. I will always oppose any effort to adopt Daylight Savings Time year-round.

@__Injaneb96 And yes, you can experience this too. This is the good news. This relationship with God is available to all through Jesus Christ.

@__Injaneb96 This is not our culture. It comes by inner energy and strength flowing directly into her by Almighty God Himself. He dwells within her by His Holy Spirit. Because of her trust in Jesus. And He is the source of that inner strength

I listened to Erika Kirk’s full speech at the memorial, and I want to share a few thoughts that came to me while live streaming the event. This is not political. First, I should say that I grew up as a Muslim in a Muslim country. I don’t know enough about Christianity to say if what I witnessed is rooted in faith or culture. But what struck me most was how, even though death is heavy and this was by nature a sad occasion, the entire event carried a celebratory spirit that honored life. That contrast hit me deeply. In Islam, even though we believe that good people go to heaven, the relationship with God is taught through fear. Funerals are overwhelmingly sad, often filled with warnings of the terrifying first night in the grave. Growing up hearing that, and then witnessing people celebrate life, speak of God’s love, and remember someone through the impact he had on others; it felt so refreshing, so positive. Second, I was profoundly moved by @MrsErikaKirk’s words. I cannot fathom the strength it takes to stand and deliver such a meaningful speech after losing the love of your life. But even more than that, the grace it takes to forgive the very person who destroyed your world. I cannot imagine myself standing on a stage, sending love to those who cheered your husband’s murder, or inviting others to spread God’s love in response because, as she said, “we do not respond to hate with hate.” That is powerful beyond words. Again, I am ignorant when it comes to Christianity, but if this is what it truly embodies, then I am envious of those who get to experience that feeling.

@MalikHeardMusic I Love this show! Can’t wait till this evening to watch a new episode! Love the tight harmonies. Keep it up!

who's watching #BuildingTheBand 👀

@JimWalshLD19 @JayInslee Agreed

@JayInslee You should be ashamed of yourself for posting this.

It is hard to make the Texas flood tragedy worse, except to know that on the same day Trump signed a bill cratering solar and wind energy that is vital in the battle against the climate change making these torrential rains more frequent. nytimes.com/2025/07/05/cli…

@catturd2 Here here

Do I have to be the one who says it … There’s not one person in the middle class who cares about going to Mars. They just want to provide for their family and give them the best life possible. (Here on planet earth) Tax cuts are a miracle to the middle class- making life decisions on whether we go to Mars or not is the most ridiculous shit I’ve ever heard in my life. There’s never gonna be a colony on Mars. It’s a gigantic waste of money. If it ever actually happened, it would be four or five of the richest people on earth. So tired of this nonsense.

@thehoffather I wondered the same thing.

Is this Travis Decker? That is a US Marshal Fugitive Task Force member in the picture Whether or not it is him, I am praying for the families of the murdered firefighters and the safety of all of our brave First Responders on the scene
