In Episode 11 of One Foot At A Time, we sit down with John Langford of Huxted Trenchless to talk about the kind of career path you can’t map out on paper.
John walks through his early years, the decisions that shaped his career, and how a completely chance meeting with a long-lost cousin at a restaurant ended up changing the direction of his life and leading him into the horizontal directional drilling industry. What starts as a casual conversation turns into a series of opportunities, lessons learned the hard way, and a career built step by step in trenchless construction.
This episode is about showing up, staying curious, and being willing to take the next step even when you don’t have the whole plan figured out yet. A real story about how most careers in HDD actually happen, one foot at a time.
