Modern Craftsman is more than just a podcast. It’s a community. A hub for those in this industry to promote excellence, education, knowledge and respect. To share what they’ve done right and what they’ve done wrong. To talk about building, life, leadership, mental health and everything in between. And we want to partner with vendors, brands and people that share the same goals: to make people better, to make the industry better and to advocate for a better life in the trades.

Customer Reviews
Keep up the good work!
Been following you guys on Insta for a while but didn’t realise you did a podcast till a few weeks ago AKA my new obsession (I listen to you guys pretty much every day now.)
I am a carpentry apprentice in New Zealand, another land of short shorts (AKA “stubby’s”). I dream of running my own business like you, everything you guys talk about is relatable, useful, important AND influential, just like all your content on social media.
I vibe with all the points that were made on the Kevin O’Connor episode, but your guys attitude and love of the craft is so important, you’ll never know the full impact of what you guys do, but keep it up, because you’re doing a good job 👍 Thanks to all of you.
Awesome
Hey Guys,
I must say, this podcast is awesome! Your content is always different and so interesting!
Coming from New Zealand, everything you touch on in the industry is still very relatable.
Having started my own business at 27, you guys inspire me everyday and the value of information you provide with your podcast is priceless.
Love your work!! Thanks so much!!
Keep killing it.
Great podcast
Love all the advice and insights on owning your own business, from a young up and coming commercial supervisor in little old New Zealand.
