Add Another Tool to your Belt with Tools of the Trade Podcast

Why is it so hard to find good stories from the pros in construction? Why does the industry lack so many business resources? Why won’t contractors tell the truth about their journey? These are questions that Tools of the Trade Podcast host Colin Toop had which sparked him to pursue this venture.

Let’s face it, construction isn’t glamorous. It’s physically taxing, it’s labelled a black sheep industry, it requires men and women to be up at 5AM and on site everyday in order to build our Cities and Nations. Join Colin, conversation by conversation, as he deconstructs the construction industry and the people in it to provide you with new tools of the trade.
