After the war in Ukraine kicked off Taz went to the Ukraine to assist in rebuilding towns using his trade however after spending time in country he felt the need to assist further. Taz joined the International legion with no prior military experience and spent a couple of months in training learning the basics of being a soldier. Once completion of training he joined a team and conducted recon operations within a small unit. 2 months ago Taz and another soldier Morts were on a task where they encountered 10-12 Russian soldiers initially Morts was shot twice in the leg and Taz was shot 3 times.

You can't build a successful trades business on referrals alone. Here is how tradies can stop competing on price alone and starting winning the jobs they want, not just the ones they need. Trade and home improvement marketing is often misunderstood, overlooked or just plain wrong. It's not about dancing on TikTok and “we offer great service” is not a point of difference. This week, Mia is joined by Lex Stanley, founder of Vastly Digital and a fierce advocate for an industry that's working hard but often left out of the marketing conversation. Lex's agency specialises in home improvement businesses; builders, roofers, painters, shutter and blind brands and natural stone (to name a few), helping them create marketing that actually works for their industry. From discoverability and lead quality to being undercut by your own apprentice-turned-competitor, this episode dives deep into the very real challenges and the big opportunities for tradies who want to grow. Whether you're in the industry or love someone who is, this one's for you.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant sits down with Michael and Nicole Kowalczyk from the Tailored Property Group to discuss how determination, education, and strategy can lead to a successful portfolio. Starting from modest beginnings, Michael, a tradie, and Nicole, a nurse, began investing in property in their early 20s. By 2017, the couple struggled and found themselves financially stuck with negative gearing of $40,000 while Nicole was pregnant, adding pressure to their situation. After realising their buyer's agent wasn't meeting their needs, they took control, educated themselves, and transformed their portfolio within two years, emphasising that trust and referrals were the driving forces behind their business growth. This belief shaped the foundation of their company, Tailored Property Group, which focuses on personalised, strategy-driven advice. Unlike typical data-heavy agencies, they prioritise actionable strategies aligned with client budgets. Their approach has paid off, with their clients achieving an average capital growth of 28.6 per cent in 2024, underscoring the importance of grit, education, and a clear purpose in property investing. They advise investors to set clear goals, form a solid team, and embrace calculated risks, highlighting that property is not just a financial tool but also a means to achieve life goals.

Welcome to Episode 1 of Tradie Month! Now, you know we love a listical, and in true Tim & Dan fashion we are making a list of the 5 biggest killers of cashflow for tradies.
During the election campaign, both major parties have announced plans to boost tradie numbers in Australia to help increase the supply of new homes. - 選挙運動期間中、二大政党は揃って「住宅の供給を増やすため、国内のトレイディー(技術職)の数を増やす」と発言しました。
During the election campaign, both major parties have announced plans to boost tradie numbers in Australia to help increase the supply of new homes. Builders welcome the move to fast-track tradie qualifications, but say there still won't be enough workers to build more than a million new homes that have been promised in the next five years without skilled labour from overseas. - अस्ट्रेलियामा यति बेला निर्वाचन अभियानको बेलामा दुवै ठुला पार्टीहरूले अस्ट्रेलियामा ‘ट्रेडी' वा प्राविधिक श्रमिकको सङ्ख्या बढाउने योजना घोषणा गरेका छन्। निर्माण व्यवसायसँग सम्बन्धित निकायहरूले ट्रेडीहरूको योग्यता छिटो प्रमाणित गर्ने कदमलाई स्वागत गरेका छन्। तर उनीहरूको भनाइ छ कि दक्ष विदेशी श्रमिक बिना पाँच वर्षभित्र वाचा गरिएको १० लाख भन्दा बढी नयाँ घर बनाउन पर्याप्त श्रमिक छैनन्।

Most people recovering from an illness as serious as breast cancer would probably take it easy and do as little as possible - but not Nelson woman Wendy Ramsay. At 56, Wendy has just become a qualified tradie. A tiler to be exact - having just finished her apprenticeship under the Building and Construction training organisation BCITO. That's despite a difficult battle with cancer.
