About this listen

This week on the Bourbon and Ballistics Podcast, we sit down with Josh Huite, HVAC veteran, business coach, and host of The Tradesman Experience Podcast. From re-entering the HVAC world with a new mindset to building Blue Collar Insiders with Greg Giroux, Josh shares the raw truth about leadership, hard-earned growth, and the value of getting back up after failure.


We sip Knobel Rickhouse (a whiskey born from Mike Rowe’s tribute to hard work) and dive into the trades, team-building, and how podcasting became a platform for change.


In this episode:


- The lessons Josh learned from a failed HVAC business

- Why tradesmen need strong leadership now more than ever

- The power of real talk and real community

- Men’s mental health and the courage to reflect

- What makes The Tradesman Experience resonate

- How whiskey and leadership have more in common than you think


Whether you're on the jobsite, behind the wheel, or winding down with a pour—this one's for the builders, the leaders, and the ones who keep showing up.
