New Line Life Podcast: ICYMI: Problem Solvers, Part 2

For our 2024 T&D World Lineworker Supplement, we featured the article, "Problem Solvers." To bring a narrated version of this article so our readers can listen to this story on the go, we are featuring it as a two-part audio story series for our Line Life Podcast on Podbean. 

The first part highlighted Robert Seekell, the Hook Holster inventor and James Coleman and Gabe Dowdy. To listen to Part 1, click here. 

The second part of this ICYMI series features two lineworkers-turned-inventors: Bruce Thompson of Effective Safety Products and Tim Barat of Gridware. In 2024, we also featured both Thompson and Barat in interview-style episodes. 

After you listen to the ICYMI episode, make sure you also listen to these episodes to hear them talk about their inventions:

• Problem Solvers, Part 1: Tim Barat's Transition from Australian Lineworker to Inventor and CEO
• Problem Solvers, Part 2: Bruce Thompson's Journey from California Line Foreman to Inventor

You can also read the entire story on our website featuring all the inventors.
