No one’s path to success in the trades is linear. Many of us have had several different jobs and hurdles to jump over before finding the career that ‘clicks’ and truly fires us up. Speaking of fire, how would you like a peek into the world of a professional firestopper and life safety consultant?
Join me on this episode of Learnings and Missteps as I welcome Sharron Halpert, Founder of Halpert Life Safety Consulting. Sharron is here to share the wisdom she’s gained from a 20+ year-long career in firestop and life safety consulting.
After living the vagabond lifestyle for several years, Sharron decided it was time to get a career. When she finally discovered the firestop field, she realized it was the perfect career for her to thrive in. Now, she’s an entrepreneur, consultant, and she even makes firestop training courses so more tradespeople (and buildings) can be safe and secure on the job.
“I couldn’t be happier to talk firestop. It just really gets me revved up. I love the idea that this little, tiny element of construction can make such a massive impact on the level of life safety of the building.” – Sharron Halpert
