The Nursery Ft. Chris Maharg Ep. 122

This one was cold. As I write this post, I can still feel it.
I sat down in the snow on a project with Christopher Maharg , Vice President of Legacy Electrical Services Inc. We were out there while his teams worked behind us to complete the project on time and under budget—words clients absolutely love to hear.
We talked about what’s needed in the trades and how his company sometimes feels called to provide a kind of nursery—a place where people can learn, where it’s okay not to have it all figured out, and where those with experience understand that growth takes time. Chris shares some real and honest things about who he is, how he handles situations, and how he and his team are working to build electricians for the next generation.
He challenges others in the field to do the same, because he believes it’s something our industry desperately needs. Now an owner of the construction company he’s been part of for so many years, he reflects on the opportunities he was given. Without what I’ll call those “nursery” seasons, he wouldn’t have come up through the trades with the knowledge, confidence, and ability to make decisions—or to have a vested interest in where the company is going.
I joke about the cold, but we truly believe our studio is the jobsite. We stood in the cold because the men and women who do this work stand in the cold. They work in the heat. They work no matter what to bring projects out of the ground—to build a legacy that you and I get to live in and be a part of.
Their sacrifice is what the trades are all about: serving others for their success in work and in life.
