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!

Building a Business Worth Passing On with Revive Timber & Decking
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What would you do differently in your business if you knew your kids were going to inherit it?
For Michelle, Jono and Sophie from Revive Timber & Decking in Queensland, that question became very real.
After years in business, they were busy, working hard, and getting the jobs done. But behind the scenes, the business lacked structure, systems, clear numbers, and direction. Then Sophie stepped into the business, and suddenly it wasn't just about getting through the week anymore. It was about building something with a future.
In this episode, Andy and Angela chat with the family behind Revive Your Timber to unpack what changed in just 8 months of focused implementation, coaching, and commitment.
You'll hear how they transformed communication, improved cashflow, created better systems, delegated responsibility, and started building a business that could one day be handed to the next generation.
Key takeaways from this episode:
• Why bringing the next generation into the business forced them to rethink everything they were doing
• How mapping their Flow of a Job created clarity, improved communication, and reduced daily chaos
• The simple changes that helped them stay booked 4–6 weeks ahead and eliminate the post-Christmas panic
• Why tracking time, understanding profitability, and knowing your numbers changes the way you make business decisions
• How better systems and delegation gave the family more confidence, ownership, and control
This episode is proof that you don't need years to change your business. You need the right focus, the right guidance, and the willingness to implement.
