In this captivating episode of the Trade Legends Podcast, join hosts Val and Pete as they sit down with two remarkable guests who share their incredible stories of resilience and passion in the trades. Rachel, a heritage stone mason at Lincoln Cathedral, and Sam, a carpenter who runs his family business, open up about the life-changing events that shaped their careers and perspectives on life.Rachel's journey into stone masonry began at the age of 29 when she decided to pursue her dream despite societal pressures to follow a more traditional path. However, her life took an unexpected turn when she was hit by a lorry and had to learn to walk again. Undeterred by this setback, Rachel's determination only grew stronger, leading her to become a skilled stone mason working on one of England's most iconic cathedrals.Sam's story is equally inspiring. Growing up in a family of carpenters, he knew from a young age that he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps. However, at the age of 24, Sam suffered a stroke that left him unable to move from the chest down. Told he would never walk again, Sam refused to let this prognosis define his future. With unwavering determination, he not only recovered but also took over his father's business when his dad's health deteriorated.Throughout the episode, Rachel and Sam share valuable insights on the importance of pursuing your passions, overcoming obstacles, and maintaining a positive outlook in the face of adversity. They also discuss the unique challenges and rewards of working in heritage crafts and running a family business. Listeners will be inspired by their stories and motivated to embrace life's challenges with the same resilience and determination. ___ Guests this week: Sam | Sam the Carpenter Rachel @gingermason ⭐ 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/
