It's Ash + Kevin again this week, and we wanted to talk through setting up your Finance data to report & make decisions from in the first 30-60 days.

Welcome back to The Banjo Pod, where we dive into the challenges of fatherhood, career, and life.
In this special Dadisode, we explore the classic dilemma every dad faces: balancing precious family time with the drive to secure a financial future.
Join us for an honest discussion on the sacrifices dads make, the guilt and the joy, and practical tips to navigate this tough balancing act.
Show notes:

- Dad Memes: Sacrifices and laughs.
- Trialling a new card game Jouska: Jouska is a card game designed to skip the small talk and have amazing, deep, and life-changing conversations. Each card presents you a different unusual scenario and poses a question getting you to think about how you would respond.

As the boys swiped on Tiktok, they came across an interesting video. The REAL numbers behind professions in Australia. The lads were shocked to find that many in the trades earn > $200k …. Cue heated conversation & discussion on the whatsapp group, which flowed into this week’s pod.
We have some questions for you, our listeners:
Are Tradies overpaid?
Why? Why not?
How would you fix the apparent ‘broken’ Construction & Trades industry in Australia?
We’re not as close to the industry so would love to hear your thoughts & inputs!
