Introducing our new podcast, presented by founder, Peter Woods and co-founder Kate Woods.

I know what you're thinking... another podcast to tell me what I already know.

We’re as frustrated as you are by the non-stop bad news (and given that we now have a recession in the forecast, this bad news ain’t stopping).

So we decided that our podcast will unpack the challenges that builders are facing, lay all the parts out on the table, and then work out how to put it all back together again in way that’s inspiring and motivating, and makes you passionate about getting up at the crack of a donkey's a$$ to go to work.
