From struggling with alcohol addiction to building a successful screeding business, Joe's story demonstrates how it's never too late to make a change. In this week's episode of Trade Legends, we discuss the challenges of mental health in the construction industry, the importance of a conversation, and how one pivotal moment at a music festival changed everything. Joe shares his experiences of working in both the food business and sales, before eventually finding his way into the screeding trade. We learn about the intricacies of liquid screed, underfloor heating installations, and the challenges that come with growing a small business in a short amount of time. Joe's candid discussion about work-life balance and the pressures of entrepreneurship offers valuable insights for all tradespeople. The conversation takes a dramatic turn when Joe opens up about his battle with alcoholism and mental health struggles, which in turn has given him the opportunity and drive to help others in similar situations. Joe's journey proves that with determination and the right support, it's possible to overcome any obstacle and build a successful career in the trades.
