In this episode of Off The Job Podcast, we speak to Eli Green, a self-employed roofer who started on the tools as a child and is now running his own roofing business before turning 18. Eli breaks down how he found work without platforms like Checkatrade, built his reputation from scratch, and learned business fundamentals outside of the traditional school system.
We discuss:
- Starting a roofing business at 17
- Growing up in a trades family and being home-educated
- Finding work through Facebook, leaflets, websites & lead generators
- Managing staff and reputation at a young age
- Dealing with online hate, ageism & trade stereotypes
- Mental health, discipline, fitness & faith
- Boxing, work-life balance, and future ambitions
This episode is a must-listen for young people considering the trades, self-employed tradespeople, and anyone interested in real conversations about work ethic, mindset, and building a future outside the conventional path.
