    It Wasn't Her Career Choice: Why Construction Wives Are Holding the Industry Together (Unpaid)

    It wasn't her career choice. In this solo episode, I tackle a topic that doesn't get talked about enough in construction: the unpaid labor crisis affecting wives and partners of builders and tradies. I share my own story of how my wife Camille went from a successful corporate career to working unpaid in my building business, the toll it took on our relationship, and the turning point that changed everything.  If your partner helps with admin, bookkeeping, or any part of your business without proper compensation, this episode is a must-listen. It's time we stop expecting free labor and start valuing the women who are literally holding our industry together. Send a text Support the show Follow me on my Socials!

    Oliver Foran is attempting the impossible: breaking the world record for the fastest human-powered journey from sea level to the summit of Mount Everest in just 60 days. Starting at the Bay of Bengal in India, Ollie will cycle 1,150 kilometers through West Bengal, then trek through the Makalu National Park before summiting the world's tallest mountain. The current record? 67 days. Ollie's aiming for 60. But this isn't just about breaking records. After losing his mother to cancer at 16, Ollie struggled with mental health for years before finding his path through adventure and community.

    I Spent $0 on Marketing and Built a Million Dollar Building Business

    I haven't spent a cent on marketing in my building business—and 80-90% of our clients come from FREE social media. No Google Ads. No boosted posts. No marketing agency. Just Instagram, Facebook, and being real. In this episode, I break down exactly how I use free social media to attract high-quality clients who already trust me before we even meet. You don't need thousands of followers or fancy editing—you just need to start. If you're a builder or tradie wasting money on ads that don't work, this one's for you.
