Today Crowe sits down with Josh Ford aka “The Ford Lord” who is no doubt a deity / demigod in the electrical world. 

A hero and friend to many, Fordy runs a couple of businesses atm (New Age Electrical, Lock Out + Live, New Age Media, Spark Your Interest) whilst balancing a young family. 

He is a total legend (one of my fave humans tbh), dedicated family man, runs some good honest businesses, and I always know what to expect when we hang out (100% of the time he is a good time). 

In this pod we discuss business start ups, rebuilding your job management system, time management, current happenings + much more. 

Also side note Ford and I were discussing a camping trip to Crescent Head sometime soon let me know who is keen and we can start to organise? 

Much love + enjoy the pod xx
