In this episode of Tradies Who Lead, we explore what it really means to lead from the front and why embracing your skill gaps is one of the most powerful things you can do as a business owner.

Our guest is George Dib, Senior Commercial Manager at Credit Protect and a former accountant who’s helped hundreds of Aussie tradies tackle one of their biggest headaches: unpaid invoices. George has seen what really happens behind the books — the stress, the awkward conversations, the money left on the table — and he’s made it his mission to give tradies the same protection and leverage that big businesses use every day.

But this conversation goes far beyond finance. We talk about boundaries, communication, and the people skills that make tough conversations easier, whether you’re talking money or managing your team. Because getting paid on time isn’t just a financial skill; it’s a leadership skill.

We dive into the hidden cost of unpaid invoices, how to protect your business without becoming “the bad guy,” and the mindset shifts that help tradies lead themselves and their teams with confidence.

If you’re building a team, growing a business, or learning to lead in the everyday moments, this episode is packed with practical insights you can apply onsite today.
