America is in a Blue Collar Crisis (w/ Kory and Ali Anderson)
This conversation between Jason Sisneros, Kory Anderson, and Ali Anderson breaks down one of the biggest threats most business owners are not paying attention to: America’s skilled trades crisis. Foundries are closing. Generational knowledge is disappearing. Young people are not replacing the tradesmen retiring out. And the same industries we depend on for defense, infrastructure, energy, transportation, manufacturing, and national security are running out of people who can actually build, repair, cast, weld, machine, and produce. Kory and Ali Anderson are on the front lines of that fight. Through Anderson Industries, Dakota Foundry, Muncie Castings, and Iron Warrior Academy, they are working to preserve American manufacturing, rebuild the skilled trades pipeline, acquire and strengthen foundry operations, and inspire the next generation to step into work that actually keeps the country running
