In this episode, I interviewed Chuck Tyler, Director of Operations and Business Development with Phoenix Modular Elevator. Chuck started his career in the field at 18, and with a family history in the trade, every meal he has ever eaten has been provided by this industry. We discussed the importance of safety as a mindset and responsibility, and the value of planning in his work. Chuck advises professionals to find fulfillment in their roles; he loves what he does and is excited to be growing in a new niche of the industry.
