Leadership involves more than divine right and grand ambitions (though they certainly play a part).

E28: Tradies are OVERPAID?! Yes or No?

As the boys swiped on Tiktok, they came across an interesting video. The REAL numbers behind professions in Australia. The lads were shocked to find that many in the trades earn > $200k …. Cue heated conversation & discussion on the whatsapp group, which flowed into this week’s pod.

We have some questions for you, our listeners:

1. Are Tradies overpaid?

2. Why? Why not?

3. How would you fix the apparent ‘broken’ Construction & Trades industry in Australia?

We’re not as close to the industry so would love to hear your thoughts & inputs!
