🎙️ New Episode: Luke and John on AI, the Future of the Trades

Good Contractor Podcast
We're baaaaaaack!

Pop Tv Hello GIF by One Day At A Time


This week, Luke and John dive into one of the hottest topics shaping every industry today: artificial intelligence and specifically, AI as it relates to the trades.

From lighthearted jokes about AI “replacing” John to serious conversations about accountability, trust, and the real work that still needs human hands, Luke and John explore how AI is changing the trades. They discuss where AI is right now, what tools are already saving contractors time, and how CompanyCam is building AI features designed to give contractors more freedom to focus on what matters most—doing good work and serving their customers.

**Key Takeaways:**

- **AI as a Tool, Not a Threat:** AI can automate busywork like documentation, proposals, and communication, but responsibility and trust remain firmly human.

- **Time Back for What Matters:** The true value of AI is giving contractors more space for craftsmanship, leadership, and personal life.

- **Small Business Advantage:** For small contracting teams, AI and CompanyCam can function like an extra employee—handling marketing, communication, and project management.

- **Enterprise Oversight:** Larger companies benefit from AI’s ability to surface relevant data, enforce standards, and provide confidence across multiple locations.

- **Simplicity Wins:** The tools that succeed will be powerful yet simple enough for anyone—tech-savvy or not—to use effectively.

The replay is up on YouTube!​

A few things that stuck with me:
  1. The correlation of doing good work and looking the part to better profit margins
  2. Taking low-margin jobs during slow months is the exception, not the rule
  3. 45% of live attendees told us that they do not pay themselves a living wage
