AI isn’t coming.
It’s already here.
And the trades who ignore it are going to get smoked by the ones who adopt it.

In this episode, Wayne & Andy dive into the truth about AI in the plumbing, heating, and electrical world — stripping out the sci-fi nonsense and showing exactly how real tradesmen can use AI TODAY to save time, win more work, and look more professional than 90% of their competitors.

Inside this unfiltered episode:

🔥 How Wayne went from “AI’s a novelty” → to fully embedding it in two businesses
🔥 Why AI won’t replace tradesmen — but WILL replace slow, old-school businesses
🔥 The biggest game-changer: AI phone answering (live demo included)
🔥 How AI can answer calls, book jobs, send links, collect customer info & upsell… all while you’re under a boiler
🔥 The shocking increase in online bookings once AI handles your first contact
🔥 Why customers prefer AI speed over human small talk
🔥 How AI helps single-man bands COMPETE with companies that have full offices
🔥 Why the older generation actually prefer AI more than you think
🔥 How AI + automations can reduce your office workload by 50–80%
🔥 Why manual call handling is losing you customers every single day
🔥 The one mindset shift that stops tradesmen sabotaging their own growth
🔥 How AI protects your business from “giving away the diagnosis” over the phone
🔥 Using AI for website chat, content creation, customer service & more
🔥 Why “not answering the phone” is the #1 reason customers leave their old tradesman
🔥 The harsh reality: customers want SPEED, not excuses

PLUS:
Real examples from inside Wayne’s business — including a live walk-through of his AI call handler and chat bot, how it collects data, how it routes calls, and how it pushed online bookings up by 50%+ almost overnight.

If you’re a one-man band, small team, or even a growing company with office staff — you NEED to hear this.

AI isn’t a threat.
It’s a tool.
And the ones who pick it up will dominate the next decade of the trades.
