From working at Hooters to plastic surgery wards, our guests Denise and Stan have some crazy stories to share about their journeys into the trades. Tune in to hear how Denise went from criminology to tiling bathrooms, and the surprising career changes that led Stan to become a reactive plumber. You won't believe some of the twists and turns in these legends' lives! Denise, aka Politely Plastered on social media, reveals how she fell in love with plastering after initially thinking it looked too dirty. She shares valuable insights on getting started in a trade later in life as a single mum, and how the Instagram trades community has supported her along the way. From tiling disasters to rendering triumphs, Denise's infectious passion for her work shines through. Plumber Stan keeps it real as he recounts his meandering path from working with his old man to a stint at Virgin Media and even a healthcare assistant role. He opens up about the challenges of running a business, the pressure of always being on call, and why he pivoted to reactive plumbing after missing his daughter's milestones. Stan's down-to-earth wisdom and family-first mindset are truly inspiring. In this jam-packed episode, Denise and Stan drop nuggets of knowledge on everything from dealing with negativity on social media to why you should never give a specific project timeline. They also dive into the serious shortage of trade apprentices and the sad state of plastering forums. Whether you're a seasoned tradesperson or just curious about the industry, this episode will have you laughing, learning, and maybe even rethinking your career.
