And these past three years has been absolutely crazy. Yeah, especially on the East Coast, you know, probably about 10 years ago is when it just started, you know, getting a little bit popular, and then within the past, you know, five to seven years when it's, you know, kind of started taking off. Nice, nice, eight years ago, was that really when the solar revolution started happening is that when people started to do the installs, and it really became a household thing? How long ago did you make that jump that was probablyĪbout eight years ago decided to join the field and and get out you know, I did graduate from Salisbury University with a bachelor's degree I'm doing absolutely nothing with but you know, so it's alright, so now that I know what my degree so And then I just kind of built my my knowledge base and, and all that. I loved everything about it sort of learning as much as I could. As soon as I got into it, I was you know, really enthralled with it. And I had a friend who was just like, "Hey, you know, and solar is paying really well, hop over here." And I kind of just went for it. So you know,Īwesome, awesome give us like the early life of what bridge the gap? Yeah, soīefore solar, I was working for a small locker company doing lockers at theme parks and things like that. So you know, lead installer, electrical helper electrician, corpsman construction supervisor, you know, I've done done all the roles top to bottom. Actually, before Sun Run, I was with Vivint, Vivint Solar and pretty much started as an installer worked my way up through the ranks. Yeah, I've been doing solar for a little over seven years now started back with a company called Sun Run. But before we do that, let's start with where you're based out of a little bit of your background, you can go as far back as you want or love to hear the story. So we just wanted to get a deep dive into what you do on a daily basis. Brian Busby is known as the solar Slayer on Instagram. I hope you guys enjoy the podcast solar Slayer. Public Service Announcement see though place would have burned down this is why I'm not allowed with oil and fire flammables but awesome. So it was funny because my dumbass I was in charge of carving the damn Turkey and I had to Turkey upside down so when I think I thought this thing had no meat but everyone was like hey yeah, you should probably flip it over.Īnd then luckily I was there I fried a few turkeys and there is a fatal flaw that a lot of people make a mistake on which was we put the bird in the oil and as expected the oil was boiling over the side most people forget when you put the burden turn the flame off even if first 3060 seconds this oil was everywhere the whole place would have went up in flames luckily we didn't have the flame on and then once it dies back down you turn that flame on there's one piece of advice kill the flame while you put the bird in the oil
With the mighty Carver? Which is a chainsaw chainsaw that is a turkey Carver but it's pretty cool little thing,ĭude.
We carved up the turkey with what would you have So I only have first degree burns on my hands but yeah, dude, it was cool. Eric loves to fry a Thanksgiving turkey I've kind of shied away from him because of the fire hazards and me I'm usually terrible with it, but he kind of roped me into it. All right, so last week, we had our company Friendsgiving Jeremy and I with the rest of the team, it was actually the first time we get every single person that works at the company full time together under the same roof and yeah, it was one hell of a time Jeremy Why don't you just kick off a little bit of what we got into Dude, But before we get into that, Eric, what's been going on?Īll right. Today we're here with Brian Buzbee aka The Solar Slayer on Instagram. This is Jeremy and Eric with bucket talk powered by BRUNT. We discuss what it takes to rise from the bottom to the top with people who are well on their way and roll up their sleeves every single day. The opportunity to trade and construction is absolutely ridiculous right now. This is Bucket Talk, a weekly podcast where people who work in the trades and construction that aren't just trying to survive but have the ambition and desire to thrive.
