The labor market has always cycled up and down—but COVID erased predictability and rewrote the rules for hiring. In this episode, Chris Collins and Dennis Siggins (a.k.a. Bobby Downspout) look at how the trades have adapted, why qualified candidates are finally returning, and what that means for small-business growth in 2025.

Dennis shares how he rebuilt his crews at Cape Cod Gutter Monkeys, what he’s seeing in the broader trades and union markets, and how his five-step philosophy—hire, train, incentivize, delegate, and hold accountable—keeps his team thriving. The takeaway: business owners who skate to where the puck is going in employment will stay ahead of the competition.
