Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Jason Rader, the Huntington Beach electrician who went from installing DirecTV to working on Laker homes, and now stays booked three weeks out with 300+ five-star Yelp reviews.

Jason breaks down how drone footage of his own work became a second business, why he flies across the country with 70 pounds of tools, the review-and-referral system that keeps his calendar full, and the 480-volt shock he survived.

No loans. No rich parents. Just a trade, relentless hustle, and 529 days sober. If you think a skilled trade has a ceiling, press play.
