Some careers are jobs. Others are lifestyles. Linework is the latter. It’s waking up before dawn, knowing that today could take you 40 feet above ground or deep into storm-hit areas. It’s a mix of adrenaline and discipline, of teamwork and personal grit. And it’s a career where every action has meaning—because when you do your job, entire communities thrive. Being a lineman isn’t easy, but it’s deeply rewarding. You become part of a brotherhood (and sisterhood) that supports each other through the toughest challenges. You learn to trust not just your equipment, but your crew. And you carry the pride of knowing you’re part of something bigger than yourself. From field stories to career advice and mental health insights, we bring you insights from those who know the trade inside and out. Tune in ??

It builds resilience, shapes character, and reminds you that growth happens when you push beyond your comfort zone. At the Powerline Podcast, we share stories of those who’ve faced challenges head-on and come out stronger. From veterans of the trade to corporate leaders and even those just starting out, their experiences remind us of one truth: You’re capable of more than you think.
