#172 Taping and Beyond with Sunaina talking plastering, females in construction, puppies, harassment and more
We have one hell of a great show today, Sunaina, a self-taught taper with 6 years in the business, coming from university degrees to bartender, to construction, to dog grooming and more. Sunaina will not be holding back, she has a lot to say about the construction life and yes, we will discuss men and women in construction and how men treat women and why.
A first for TCL we have a puppy on the show, Sir Nicholas Liam will be sharing a few of his thoughts throughout the show which brings us to a side hustle of Sunaina – Pup-Struction
We get right into women in construction and inappropriate behavior, no sugar coating anything here. Sunaina brings up a recent scenario that unfolded where the upper management felt it was better to remove the female and make the males comfortable then to educate the males to be respectful of the female, which is total BULLSHIT. She brings up a great comparison about socializing dogs to tradesmen. We back track a little bit and bring up Sunaina’s path to construction, she has a triple degree from the University of Waterloo, in Drugs and Addiction Health Promotion, with a minor in sexuality, family and marriage studies. Bartending to pay bills, then her roommate had a connection to construction and that is where it all began for Sunaina during her educational years. She doesn’t regret the school, but she wishes started sooner in construction.
We discuss taping tools and where and why certain tools and brands will and won’t work for her scope, always considering why don’t you as a tradesperson not like one brand over another. Then we get into mud and how Sunaina has such a hatred for 5-minute mud as we all should. We discuss PPE and coming into the construction industry, one day you the student will be the teacher one day and we have to watch out for all of our brothers and sisters in construction.
We end the show we Sunaina’s sharing some thoughts on Covid and Vaccines. She shares some very interesting thoughts behind both, some things to consider.
