About this listen
Former Public Works Director Todd Hoppenstedt joins the show to share what life is really like behind the scenes of municipal infrastructure.
From training CDL drivers only to lose them to the private sector, to managing emergencies with understaffed crews, Todd explains why public works is at a breaking point — and why more leaders are making tough career transitions.
This episode explores:
Workforce shortages in public works
CDL training challenges
Pay disparities between public and private sectors
The personal toll of emergency response
Why infrastructure workers are invisible… until something breaks
If you work in public works, utilities, or municipal leadership — this episode will hit close to home.
