🎧 In this episode: Welcome back to Sparky Life, where we shine a spotlight on the grittiest, gutsiest careers in the skilled trades — and sometimes even the deadliest.

Everyone says skilled trades are dangerous… but which one tops the list?

You won’t believe it — because it’s not what you think.

💥 In this wild and witty episode, Lia reveals the most dangerous skilled trade in America — and no, it’s not electricians, roofers, or deep-sea fishing crews. It’s… loggers.

Yep, the folks who take down trees and keep your homes, floors, and toilet paper stocked.

Join Lia as she dives into:

The real risks behind America’s deadliest blue collar job 😳
Chainsaws, bears, and zero cell service — what logging really looks like
How high-tech machines (yes, like Transformers) are changing the game
What logging pays, and whether it’s worth the danger
Why loggers are essential and why we literally can’t live without them
Who thrives in this career — and who should stay far away

It’s part thrill ride, part PSA, and all blue collar badassery. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or just love learning about skilled trades that keep the world running — you don’t want to miss this one.
