On this episode, EEI chief communications officer Emily Schillinger joins AES Ohio electric line technician leader Bryan Woodford, and AES Indiana director of transmission and distribution field operations Nick Goodman to discuss what's brought them to the field, how they're carrying on family legacies, and what it takes to become a line worker.

They also share memorable moments and stories from their combined decades of experience.

Emily, I'll hand it over to you.

It's just really amazing to hear you talk about it and what your work is doing every day.

And then Brian, can you talk, first of all, and then we'll go to Nick, about why you joined the industry? I feel like you have a really unique story to share.

Yeah, so I kinda stumbled into line work, but I stumbled into a legacy, right? You know, I grew up, my grandfather was a lineman at AES Ohio for 47 years.

So I grew up listening to him talk about work around the dinner table and stuff like that and, you know, hearing the phone calls and him having to go out late at night and, and, and work on storm work and things like that.
