In this episode, James and Christian are joined by Daniel Loney, Principal at Excelsior Measuring, to discuss the labor gap, generational differences and current culture in the workplace. 

Daniel Loney, a financial advisor by trade, shares his experience managing different age groups and working in construction and his family's foster care background, which led him to work with young adults. The conversation covers various topics, from construction and culture to family and financial planning. They discuss the importance of collaboration and finding one's strengths, as well as the cultural issues in the workplace, such as imposter syndrome and creating a positive work culture. They also discuss the issue of people being scared to work in construction due to its perceived "low" status and how those who commit to the trades early on often life, don't reap the benefits until later in life. They agreed that this is completely untrue. Daniel shares a story from his Financial Planning days of a client who had a goal of making $400,000 a year, which he thought was called a "stupid" goal, but in no way flippantly. Loney explains that such a goal is easily achievable for someone in a specific profession and that people are often misled into thinking that money is what they want. Instead, Loney suggests setting lifestyle goals, such as what a person wants their life to look like when they wake up and finding their "why."
