This is how the employer-apprentice mentoring should be done, sad to see them go but at least you know they leave with the correct job and life skills to be a good trades-person
Issac your a class act business man with a heart of gold.I enjoy the content you and Sal share with tiling setting.I have a house i am renovating to move in at a later time,and with all you have shared has giving me confidence to give it a try with 2 bathrooms.Although.I live about a hour from Columbus and not sure if Devon would consider the work,but would love to have someone that was under your wing do the work and get the job done right.thanks for info and all you share!!East coast will gain some west coast love in tile setting with Devin.
Great job Isaac and Devin as well. I just hired my first helper. Been working by myself for a few years. I hope I can do the same for my guy because I'm where I am today because someone invested their time in me to teach me the trade. Good luck Devin.
What a great perspective to have Isaac. A real coach/mentor relationship you have created. I learned something very powerful here & will try to implement this way of thinking with my tile setters. Thank you again for the insight you provide on your channel.
Really great “employer” relationship w/ employees. Congrats on the the new journey Devon, & best wishes. Great to see Isaac’s “coaching” when teaching someone new, & than take those skills to move on to a different adventure in life. Cheers✌🏼
I really like this Isaac. Such a heart felt departure. Its really cool that you made a badass out of Devin, you guys are solid tilesetter. Chris M Align design tile Salem Oregon
Welcome back to Ohio, Devin! Great place to raise a family, great cost of living, and great place to tile! Congratulations and how awesome to have your mentor/teacher be a lifelong friend/family! I’d hire you but Cbus is a bit far from me! 😆
Hi coach just want to say thanks for all the videos and advice I’ve been watching ur videos for the pass 6 months and I have to say I picked up a lot good pointers from u I’ve been tile setting in the 818/661 since 2008 ur videos have inspired me to work even harder and do nicer work god bless keep posting ur videos
I had helpers all the time.see them come and go. Some been successful, some not , but it’s been great to teach them.so I can really relate to you. Hows your golf. 👍
I totally agree about transforming people! We just hired our first employee and he's an awesome guy. Really trying to shape him to be the best remodel guy he can be regardless of where his path in life goes. Production and making money a bunch of money off an employee are far less important to me than giving back and passing on my knowledge to someone else. Good on you for really taking the time to develop you're guys!
I got hired and accepted into the IBEW many many years ago and was so excited as a young man, was super disappointed to find it was not a mentorship whatsoever. Nothing like what you describe here. The men on that crew had no interest whatsoever in taking someone under their wings, it was disgusting.
Imagine if you worked for someone for one year and when you left to start your own business, he gave you a nationally replayable ad on RUclips? You'd have to Max out a 401k to get a 10th of the return in a year.
very cool,best wishes Devon, isaac been a good friend,to me also and money cant buy that,share your knowledge with the guys you hire,I'll look you up on insta,good job isaac
Can I come work for you ? I’ll work for cheap to learn I already know a lot I’ve been working in the trades for years I have all my own tools and a truck but I wanna focus on just one thing from now on and I like doing bathroom re models but I wanna learn from the best
You can tell this guy is a good man to work for! He cares about his employees!
Because it's on RUclips? keeping believing the internet.
All the best to Devin and his young family.
This is how the employer-apprentice mentoring should be done, sad to see them go but at least you know they leave with the correct job and life skills to be a good trades-person
Amen. Exactly
