Chris Powers(@fortworthchris):I asked Zane Hengsperger (@zanehengsperger), Founder and CEO of NOX Metals, whether young people want hard, physical work or just the paycheck. He says the people who want it exist at scale, and nobody knows it yet. Two of his first hires in Detroit were a former grave digger and a carpenter, and the company had to cap how many hours they could work. In this clip, what he has learned from them about pride, and why he thinks there are a million more.
