Train Your Guys Online (seriously!)

Hello fellow sheet met'ler,

Ever get that nagging voice in your head, making you doubt everything? I sure do. But then a student reaches out, and I remember exactly why I’m doing this.

Doing what, you ask?

Well, after 13 years running my own business, I got fed up with “qualified” applicants who turned out to be anything but. They’d stroll in, cause drama, and stir up trouble on my crew. Enough was enough.

That’s when I started ASM101 Online Metal Roof Training—my way of reviving a trade that seems to be fading away. Every now and then, I still catch myself thinking, “Is this even possible?” or “Who do I think I am?”

But then—bam!—a message pops up from a student. Suddenly, all feels right. It’s proof that, yes, we can learn trades online.

I’m building a library of virtual training that anyone—anywhere—can tap into. Day or night. 

Want to help spread the word? Share this newsletter with a friend. Let’s keep our trade alive and kicking—it’s in our hands.

Thanks for reading!

—Alex
