Colin McIntosh | Water | Wealth | Freedom on Instagram: "The blue collar world runs on respect, honour, and grinding. And I’ve got a lot of respect for the men and women who work on the road, in the 9–5 scene, and keep things moving. I was there for a decade, I get it. But that week this past summer in the truck with my father-in-law and uncle showed me how easy it is to put health and life on the back burner just to keep earning a paycheck. I also watched someone who gave his whole career and l
