We’re talking about the market and how people react…or overreact. Are we in a cycle or is this reminiscent of 2008? The gentlemen discuss the state of the market and how tradespeople need to approach it because all it takes is one donkey to jack the brakes….

In natural Josh fashion, we start with a brief history lesson on apprenticeship and how it came about. How everything comes full circle over time, like those neon shades all the cool kids are wearing. But how do you view an apprenticeship? Your friends may be off to college – are you missing out? Find out Greg's hack for this one, ha! Apprenticeships aren't solely about the apprentice though, they're about finding the right mentor as well.

In this episode, we confront a common pitfall that often goes unnoticed: the relentless pursuit of the next shiny object or immediate gratification, without taking into account, well.....your bills. We examine the allure of acquiring that coveted new toy or even achieving that business goal, and how this pursuit can blind us to the financial realities of our businesses. We cover the importance of business relationships and how they can make or break your success.

Do you have the secret sauce to running a successful business? Or have you, like Greg, paid at least 10 years worth of the stupid tax? We're not talking about those we pay to Uncle Sam, we're talking about grinding it out. Transitioning from a work mentality to running a business - two very different skillsets. In this episode, we talk about why we started TruPros and surrounding yourself with people who are smarter than you because you don't have to wear ALL of the hats.

Let's face it, nothing in this world is free, so why should your time and expertise be? And what's the difference between a diagnosis and an estimate? How do you calculate your margins? We cover it in this short episode. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this episode is for you.

Alright everyone, take a chill pill -- 2023 is not the new 2008. Let's talk about how we can navigate the financial climate we're approaching!

Why is it so hard to get to the next step? Today, Greg shares his story about his licenses, and it's a doozy.

FALSE -- but you knew that. Today we are joined by a plumber and coffee connoisseur (he literally owns a coffee company). We love hearing about how people find their way into the trades, every origin story is different. What comes when you begin in the trades and what happens further down the line are all up to you.

We gave you a glimpse into our thoughts on technology in the trades, but now we've brought in a professional. We learn about things we've never heard of and discuss things that we're passionate about all in today's episode. Now isn't that the cat's pajamas?
