Kev shares the raw truth about getting released from his football career at 18 and the emotional toll it took, before redirecting his drive into the automotive industry, rising through the ranks to become one of the youngest dealer principals in the country.But that wasn’t the end of his story. Realising he was missing time with his daughter and burned out from long hours, Kev made the bold decision to walk away and start over as a decorator. He reveals how he built a thriving business from scratch, leveraging social media, smart branding, and the lessons he learned from elite corporate environments to build Prestige Decorating into a respected name.We talk about his rise on Facebook and Instagram, the power of consistent professionalism, and the importance of mentoring the next generation of tradespeople. Kev also opens up about being approached by major brands, winning prestigious industry awards, and the priceless value of reputation and detail in the trades.Whether you're in the trades, thinking of a career pivot, or love a powerful story of resilience and reinvention, this episode is packed with wisdom, humour, and real talk.
