What is The Construction Life? The Construction Life is a daily routine of waking up at 5am, working out, showering, preparing lunch, sending off the family, driving to the construction site, organizing and preparing for the day's work, building, having fun on the job, wrapping up at the end of the day, returning home, spending time with the family, and preparing for the next day. It's a lifestyle that involves a constant commitment to hard work and a love for what you do, and it's never about settling for "good enough." The Construction Life is about striving for excellence every day.

Customer Reviews
Love the show, but..
Great topics and guests coming on the show. I listen to them while I work construction. I’ve listened to all the shows from the start but had to skip a few of them where the guests were some far-right wing nut flatearther science denying misogynistic freedom fighter. Having such a large social media platform comes with great responsibility; you can’t let anyone spew all kinds of crazy comments and agree with everything they say. I don’t take medical advice from a plumber and I don’t take plumbing advice from a doctor. Oh and cat-calling a woman is wrong, regardless of the continent you’re in.
Shining a light on an important industry!
TCL is a great podcast. The trades and construction are as important as ever and the perspectives and insight from everything within and around the construction industry is welcomed. Manny is a great host, capable of carrying a entertaining and informative conversation with anyone. Very much enjoy listening.
Cheers!
