From Classroom to Company: Powering the Next Generation of Electricians with Michael Lail

Streamlining Field Service Operations

With Michael Lail

Michael Lail, owner of GA Central Electrical in Tyrone, Georgia, began his journey in the trades with a simple electrical class in high school - just a switch, a breaker, and a light - but it sparked a passion that continues to this day.  After years of working for a local electrical company, he took a leap—buying the very business he once worked for when the former owner decided to keep it small. But Michael had bigger plans. Now, he's not only successfully growing the company, he's investing in the next generation—paying for his employees to attend electrical school and even teaching classes himself. His message in this episode of SWIVL SESSIONS  is simple but powerful: don’t be afraid to learn, and never, EVER, stop asking questions.
