Inside Plumbing Career: The AI-Proof Job (for Now…)

Plumber's Job

Ever wonder what it’s really like to work as a plumber? In this episode, Mirav chats with Mark Anderson, a seasoned pro with a thriving Hudson Valley business—A Team Comfort Systems—where he’s built a career solving messy problems most of us wouldn’t touch with rubber gloves.

Mark shares the ins and outs of the job: from water heaters to frozen pipes, he’s seen it all. Plumbing isn’t just about turning a wrench—it’s about critical thinking, system smarts, and sometimes squeezing into places you'd never expect. It’s tough, dirty, and hands-on work… and that's exactly why Mark loves it.

If you're looking for career insight into a field that’s always in demand (and not going AI anytime soon), tune in to hear Mark’s take on what it takes to thrive in the trades, build real client relationships, and run a successful service business from the ground up.

About the host: Mirav Ozeri has always been drawn to storytelling and journalism, especially the stories of everyday people.

In the 90’s She founded her own video production company, producing, directing, and editing documentaries and videos for political organizations which led to a 17-year career at CBS News, where she served as a producer/editor, helped launch CBS MarketWatch, and later worked as a senior editor and segment producer until the program was acquired by Dow Jones.

During her years at CBS, Mirav developed and produced a television pilot built around a simple idea: giving people an honest look at what different careers are really like. Although the pilot was never picked up, the concept stayed with her. Years later, she brought it back as How Much Can I Make?, a podcast that explores real jobs, real stories, and the many paths people take to build a career.
