In an era where the gig economy has taken the front seat, traditional trade jobs struggle to stay relevant. At the heart of this changing landscape lies a crucial question: How do we breathe new life into the trades and focus attention in revitalizing traditional trades? In this week’s episode of [Straight Outta Crumpton](https://marketscale.com/shows/straight-outta-crumpton/), host [Greg Crumpton](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregcrumpton/), and [Gabrielle Bar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielle-bar-a1138519a/) address this question through an engaging discussion with [Derek Cameron](https://www.linkedin.com/in/derekcameron1/), owner of [3805 Productions](https://www.3805productions.com/).

From Derek’s transition from corporate life to higher education, and finally to starting his own media business, the conversation touches on a variety of intriguing themes relating to revitalizing traditional trades.

Crumpton, Cameron, and Bar discuss…

● How to introduce hands-on roles in a way that is attractive to younger workers.

● The profound impact of drone technology on construction projects and how it can bring new talent into the trades.

● The role of small businesses in the trades industry and the need for better business management to aid their growth.

Derek Cameron, a former employee of Boston College and Northeastern University, transitioned into the trades through a circuitous path. After founding 3805 Productions and gaining his drone license, he developed a deep interest in construction initiatives, specifically capturing the hard work of people on construction sites.
