🎙 Episode 2: "From Trowel to Teacher" – A Must-Listen for Tradespeople Thinking About Teaching

Attention all tradesmen and tradeswomen!

You’ve spent years perfecting your craft — ten, maybe twenty — but you don’t have a piece of paper to prove it. Most days, you’re chasing work, chasing payments, and barely finding time to breathe. The van needs a service, the taxman’s knocking, and taking a proper holiday feels impossible.

Ever catch yourself thinking: There has to be a better way to make a living?

This episode is for you.

Join Mick and Dave on "That’s Skimming Alright" as they share their journey from life on the tools to life in the classroom. In Episode 2, they break down how they made the leap from trades to teaching — including tips on the college interview process.

Expect a fun, lighthearted chat, plenty of laughs, and some great music to top it all off.

🎧 Tune in now and find out how you could swap the trowel for a teaching career!
