461: Danny Combs—TACT, The Future of Workforce
Summary
<p>Mike sits down with Danny Combs, founder of <a href="https://www.buildwithtact.org/">TACT</a> (Teaching the Autism Community Trades), a program that teaches people with autism skilled trades ranging from welding to woodworking to IT. With equal parts heart and hard data, Danny walks Mike through how TACT is helping fill critical labor shortages while giving thousands of gifted, detail-driven students a path to meaningful, good-paying work. It's a conversation about talent, potential, and the untapped workforce hiding in plain sight.
