The Tradie Show
The Tradie Show is the podcast for tradies who are stuck working ‘IN’ the business instead of working ‘ON’ it. We know you’ve got big goals, but right now you probably feel like a slave to your own creation.
TAFE taught you to be a great tradie, but not a great business owner. It’s lonely, stressful and not your fault. We get it, we’ve been there too, deep in the trenches (literally) growing a plumbing business in Sydney. Life looked great on the outside, but behind the scenes, we were stressed out of our eyeballs.
As a result we almost lost everything ... we almost lost our business, our home and our marriage, but thankfully we came out the other side with a thriving business, completely off the tools and only working 2 hours p/week. How? Well, that's what we share here on The Tradie Show.
Following our success, we vowed to help other tradies, so you don’t have to go through what we did. We didn’t have any guidance and even when we tried to hire a coach, he knew nothing about the trade industry, so we ended up coaching him.
That experience inspired us to set up our amazing community and coaching program, Lifestyle Tradie to share the advice we wish we had about what it really takes to build a successful trade business and live the lifestyle you deserve.
And now The Tradie Show is an extension of that community.
So, if you’re a plumber, electrician, painter, landscaper, carpenter, builder, bricklayer, concretor, contractor, gardener, window washer, aborist, tiler, metal fabricator, roofer, glazier, handyman services, HVAC, solar installation services or any other trade business or trade service, then tune into The Tradie Show for no-fluff advice, fun banter and inspiring interviews to help you get results. BIG RESULTS!

Our Story (Updated): How We Transformed Our Trade Business
Ever felt like your business is running you instead of the other way around? We’ve been there. In this episode, we’re taking you back to where it all began – from the early days of Dr. Drip, through near financial collapse, to building a business that gave us time, profit, and freedom.
🔧 What you’ll learn in this episode:
✅ The reality of running a fast-growing trade business – and the cracks that appear
✅ Why working harder is NOT the answer to fixing your business struggles
✅ How we went from losing $50K a month to building a profitable, systemised trade business in just 13 months
✅ The key strategies that took us from overwhelm to ownership of our business
✅ Why we sold Dr. Drip in 2023 and shifted our focus to helping other tradies do the same
💡 If you’re stuck in the grind, constantly on the tools, or drowning in admin, this episode will show you that change isn’t just possible – it’s achievable.
