Saskia Van Den Berghe joins us all the way from Belgium to talk about women in carpentry and the construction industry in Belgium. On the show, Manny learns some Flemish words, how trade schools work in Belgium, and how the Belgian government's decision to open the borders to other countries' tradespeople is affecting the Belgian trades.
