In this episode of The Construction Game, Dom sits down with Andy Masoe, founder of Metal Scope Roofing, to dig into the realities of going out on your own.

They cover:

• The unexpected challenge of managing people
• Why domestic tradies are underrated
• How Base App saved Andy’s business (and his Christmas)
• What no one tells you about “working for yourself”

“I'm not trying to change the world, but at the same time, I just want to change my life.” - Andy Masoe
