Such a pleasure to have Tommy + Ford back on the pod again and all be in the same room with an audience! 

A few of the Sparky Coach members set aside two days this week and invested into ourselves hearing great workshops from great speakers on great topics such as emotional intelligence, mental health, leadership + setting a clear business plan. 

It was so much fun to get around each other, learn, laugh, swim, gym, surf, discuss nerdy electrical things, rage about Makita vs Milwaukee (lololol) and talk about the electrical industry well into the night. 

On this pod (our first live one) we discuss cost plus work, mental health, factory renovations, sales strategies, building relationships, personal relationships, networking + much more. 

Also huge shout out to Ford and the work he is doing running charity events like the Ox which raises funds and awareness for DIPG. 

Also mega shout out to Billy Lawrence who looks great on zoom but is 1000% taller, musclier and sexier in real life. 

What a time to be alive! 

Enjoy the pod xx
