We dive deep into the inspiring stories of two tradesmen who defied the odds to build successful careers. From a devastating hand injury to the challenges of being an older apprentice, our guests share their trials, triumphs, and controversial opinions on the state of the industry. Buckle up for a wild ride filled with laughter, wisdom, and game-changing insights! Meet Carl, aka "GasLadd", a former apprentice plumber who refused to let a crushed hand derail his dreams. Despite being told he'd never work manually again, Carl persevered through the pain and self-doubt to earn his gas safe certification. Hear how he juggled mortgages, family responsibilities and a meagre apprentice wage while learning to use his non-dominant hand. His grit and determination will leave you in awe. Next up is Mark, a firefighter turned plumbing pro with a unconventional path to success. Discover how Mark's passion for the trade was reignited by the Instagram plumbing community and why he believes social media is the key to attracting the next generation of tradesmen. From hilarious stories about starstruck customers to the challenges of working with family, Mark holds nothing back. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Our guests also tackle controversial topics like the limitations of new build training, the dangers of social media tool envy, and why some colleges are failing their students. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this episode is packed with priceless insights and game-changing advice. ___ Guests this week: Carl aka Gasladd Mark from SMH Gas Specialist ⭐ Proudly Sponsored by CT1 | www.ct1.com | @ct1ltd ⭐ Supported by Tradify | https://tradifyhq.com/ | @TradifyHQ 🏷️ Save on over 50 Trade Brands | https://tradelegends.uk/discounts/
