E97 | How tradesman can Lose Weight Without Exercise! I Was An ELECTRICIAN, But Now I Show Tradesmen how to get into shape and lose weight.In this episode of the Trade Legends Podcast, @MJTiffPlumbing sat down with Joe  @thetradesmanscoach to discuss all things health in the construction industry. Joe qualified as an electrician over 12 years ago, and even though he enjoyed his career as a tradesman in the construction industry, he decided to retrain as a Personal Trainer. Initially, he was able to comfortably balance the two jobs, but the personal training was starting to grow exponentially. Going against his parents' wishes, Joe decided to give up his 'steady' job as an electrician and become a full-time personal trainer and focus on the health of people in the trades.Guest this week: Joe  @thetradesmanscoach | joe_thetradesmanscoach (Insta)Hosts:Mark  @MJTiffPlumbing ⭐ Proudly Sponsored by Aspen Pump Groups | https://www.aspenpumps.com/en-gb⭐ Supported by Tradify | https://tradifyhq.com/ | @TradifyHQ

Two carpenters from opposite ends of the country, but whom fate brought together.

E96 | Why Electricians In Social Housing Are Paid The Least Money! Kimmy never planned on being an electrician in construction, but after seeing what electrician installers were earning at the business she worked at.. she decided she wanted a slice of that rather lucrative pie! After being allowed to shadow the installers, she enrolled at College to obtain her electrician qualification, but realised she'd need an apprenticeship. Unable to find one locally, she thought of a way to not only get one, but make good money in the process. Kimmy goes on to describe her career as an electrician in the trades, including what really happens when working in Social Housing, how she was awarded the On The Tools 'Electrician of the Year' 2024 award, and how she is able to comfortably work only 2 days a week due to her social media earnings.

Trade Talk | Home Improvement Shows | What Really Happens Behind The Scenes! Laura Jane Clark sat down with @MJTiffPlumbing earlier this year to discuss her career in Television and construction. She has worked on several high profile 'home renovation' shows across various networks, helping out with designs, planning, and the physical construction. Unfortunately, however, she noticed that her appearances in the home renovation shows were being dramatically cut, to a point where she knew she had to speak up.. and in so doing, she "burned her bridges quite severely."

And Mark sings Gregs praises with his refreshing take on social media and calls him "The Colin Furze of Carpentry" #carpentry #construction #tradesman Guest this week: Greg @buildandbesceneuk (Insta) Host: Mark @MJTiffPlumbing ⭐ Supported by Tradify | https://tradifyhq.com/ | @TradifyHQ

E92 | In this week's episode of the Trade Legends podcast, Mark @MJTiffPlumbing sat down with plumber Nathan @NNPlumber to discuss his ongoing battle against Cancer (Non-Hodgkin lymphoma) whilst working as a tradesman within the construction industry. Chemotherapy and Construction. My Non-Hodgkin lymphoma battle as a PLUMBER. In the UK, the lifetime risk of developing cancer is approximately 1 in 2, according to Cancer Research UK. Nathan is a young plumber in the construction industry, and in early 2024 he noticed a little pain in his lower back. He thought little of it, as every tradesman in the construction industry gets a bad back from time to time. The pain failed to subside, and after many weeks of debilitating pain and endless doctors appointments, Nathan finally discovered what was causing him so much discomfort. He was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (a cancer of the blood) and Nathan now knew that he had a real battle on his hands. He would have to stop working as a plumber, undergo 6 months of chemotherapy, and finally undergo an intense course of radiotherapy to destroy the tumours that had built up on his spine. Nathan now wants to educate people in the trades on a topic that he himself knew nothing about. As the earlier statement read, cancer will affect 1 in 2 people, so educating ourselves on the topic is paramount.

E91 | Plumbing has DESTROYED my body. It's time to GIVE IT UP -Battle of the Podcasts- "We f**kin' hate you lot!" In this week's episode, Alex and Mark sit down with gas engineer Kieran, and plumber Pete from @OffTheJobpodcastuk Kieran initially planned on being an electrician, but after working as a labourer with a plumber, he decided to pursue a career as a plumber and gas engineer, and after completing his apprenticeship he decided to set up his own business. We spoke to Pete back in Episode 43, where he discussed how he became a plumber in the construction industry, but also how he knew that he wouldn't be able to stay working in the trades forever. Pete now knows that within 2 years, he will be off the tools completely. The guys started their podcast around 1 year ago, after a chance meeting at a trades event where Kieran was speaking. "Who's this f**kin' wally..." Pete thought to himself. Little did he know that in a matter of months he would be co-hosting a successful trades podcast with him. #tradesman #construction #podcast Guests this week: Kieran and Pete @OffTheJobpodcastuk Hosts: Alex @alexinsley Mark @MJTiffPlumbing ⭐ Supported by Tradify | https://tradifyhq.com/ | @TradifyHQ

You have actually been playing our music since our first album in 2015 and we are very grateful Just noticed though that in both of these latest podcasts, you are linking to the wrong band. Our website is www.TheRiverDrivers.com Thanks again for all you do for the music!" Please send corrections. River G. emailed an Android podcatcher recommendation: "Marc, Just a quick recommendation of another great podcast app on Android. It's called AntennaPod and is truly free. I attached a screenshot so people know what the icon looks like. (It may also be on IOS, but I'm not sure.) Shel O'Toole emailed: "Hi Marc, I usually listen to your show when I'm working from home but podcast # 681 Lady of the House I saved for my drive back home from a visit to my sister. Listening to the music brought memories of my father who played numerous instruments,  solo and with others.  The banjo was my favourite (which Is probably why I play banjo), followed by the  accordion, he had both button and piano accordions, and the fiddle. He also played harmonica, piano and even the gum leaf (definitely an Australian thing). I took my father's violin which I had restored recently so my sister could see it for herself.  It was in a terrible state when it came to me but its voice is restored and it's very pleasant.  Now the challenge of learning to play. I look forward to the podcast every week, so thanks Marc for all you do and for the magic you create in weaving together the music of Ireland and the music influenced by Ireland and the stories of the people who are touched by the force of the Celts. Warm regards"  

E88 | SUICIDE in CONSTRUCTION Trade | The BIGGEST DANGER in the TRADES "Nobody asked me how I was." www.thelostcity.org "Lets save the next 7000." #thelostcity 7000 tradesmen have taken their own lives over the last 10 years. That's 2 tradesmen every day : enough trades people to build a city the size of Cardiff. - Project 7000 | The Lost City - "The construction industry has a suicide rate four times the national average. It's a crisis, but one that's relatively unknown outside the industry. By visualising exactly what they could have built, The Lost City addresses this crisis, showing the true scale of construction suicides. This is the city that could exist if the construction suicide crisis didn't." In this week's Trade Legends episode, we discuss Mental Health within the construction industry with a few familiar faces - Lee @OnTheToolsOfficial , Kryss and James. Both Kryss and James contemplated, and even attempted to take their own lives. Each guest explains how they found themselves in that situation, but also how they were able to find the professional help that ultimately saved their lives. 'Project 7000' aims to highlight these issues within construction, bringing to light the horrific statistics regarding mental health within the trades. The aim of the project? To raise £2.5 million to help anyone in the trades who feels they have nowhere to turn. Whether you're a plumber, electrician, carpenter, bricklayer or in any other trade... DO NOT SUFFER ALONE. Talk.

But it wasn't until she discovered bricklaying on YouTube that she realised that the construction industry could give her the job satisfaction she was looking for. Sianna discusses the college process for learning different trades, including bricklaying, carpentry, plant, and electrician, as well as the horrors of working within the social housing sector, and being a tradeswoman in a male dominated industry. #construction #bricklaying #apprentice Guests this week: Sianna @si_laysconstruction Hosts: Mark @MJTiffPlumbing ⭐ Supported by Tradify | https://tradifyhq.com/ | @TradifyHQ

E83 | How to START A BUSINESS in Construction and keep your APPRENTICE! In this episode of the Trade Legends Podcast we chat with Jamie and Robbie about their journeys into the construction industry. Jamie always wanted to work with his hands, but in order to run and grow a successful construction business, he learned that coming off the tools was the only way to bring this about. Robbie, his young roofing apprentice, has been with Jamie for a couple of years. Robbie sees Jamie as an onsite mentor; a man who can teach him how to start a business, about working in construction, and how to adopt a good work ethic. Get involved in the topics that are discussed, including the state of the education system, how to start a business, and how to use social media as part of a wider marketing strategy.

HOW TO GET INTO PLUMBING & becoming my own APPRENTICE Like most young people, Dave @boilerstobathrooms6267 had no idea what he wanted to do as a Career or hat to be an apprentice in. Luckily for him, his mother was prepared for such a situation - "Plumbing David, it pays well!"...so a plumbing apprentiship it was. It wasn't, however, as simple as that, plumbing it was. Dave struggled to find a plumbing Apprenticeship in the local area; something that he would require in order to become a fully qualified Plumber and Gas Engineer in the construction trade. "Well..." David thought, "Perhaps I could become my own Apprentice." Now, that might sound like something thought up during a drunken stupor, however it was exactly what Dave would go on do. He set up his own plumbing company, and employed himself to be his own plumbing Apprentice. Once he had his portfolio signed off, he would go on to complete his studies and become a fully qualified Plumber and Gas Engineer in the plumbing trade. But this was just the start of an eventful journey for Dave. Over the next few years, he would experience the horrors of Social Housing, the challenges of on-call work, angry and aggressive customers, and the importance of managing your finances. Yet somehow, with all this going on around him, Dave was able to create a piece of plumbing literature which would revolutionise the lives of so many Tradespeople from plumbers to electricians. "What piece of Literature?" I hear you ask. The aptly named... 'Breakdown Bible.' A Must for plumbers!

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.

ABOUT THE NEW ADS IN THE PUBLIC FEED If you've been listening to the show over the last couple of weeks, you will have noticed something new to the show. Ads placed at the beginning and ending of each episode. The show has been published regularly for almost 19 years with very few ads, outside of those for my Celtic Invasion Vacations and Patreon. I'll be honest. I'm not a huge fan of advertising…or corporations in general. And I'm still deciding whether I'm gonna continue having ads in the show. The fact is that this podcast costs a decent amount to produce as I'll tell you about later. We've built something incredible here. We have a large number of Patrons of the Podcast who support this show each and every week. It's mind - blowing the amount of support this show gets. But it doesn't cover all of my expenses. And there's so much more I'd like to do to reach more Celtic music fans, which requires money. This would be one way to help us grow our podcast. So if you don't like those ads, please become a Patron of the Podcast, because they are not included in any of the Patreon shows. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST! You are amazing.

Ben Doran messaged on Facebook: “When I received the "music only version" of the "The Gaelic Blessing" podcast, I was immediately reminded of one of the most moving arrangements of The Irish Blessing that I have heard  -  - by Bill O'Connor and Larry Theiss on their – "Traditional And Original" recording. I am getting ready to have a day off tomorrow and will  get to chores and baking for the "Wild Hog in the Woods" usual Friday night concert that we host at a neighborhood center here in Madison. While I am mixing and baking, I'll surely/certainly listen to that "Gaelic Blessing" program in its entirety. Thanks!” Ryan S. emailed some photos: "Hi Marc. I love the Celtic Women episodes!! I am currently building trails outside of austin while I listen to the cast.the spring flowers are already out!" Shel O'Toole emailed a photo: "Hi Marc, As I'm listening today I'm promoting the International Women's Day event I organised for the Ballarat and District Irish Association. The all women trio I play with, Skedaddle is performing on the day.   I'm also looking at ways to promote my newly released poetry book Wildsong. I'll be officially launching it at the IWD lunch. I'm loving the Celtic Women special. There's so many fabulous Irish women singers and musicians. Noirin Ni Rian, the sean - ós singer and chanter, Sandra Joyce singer and bodhran player are two amazing teachers I met at the Irish World Music Summer School  - Blas, many years ago.  Niamh Parsons & Delores Keane are firm favourites & I love discovering new  female artists. I'll probably go to a session on St Patrick's day and there's a band playing at one of the Irish pubs in the evening I want to see. Sliánte"  

Join MJ Tiff, Alex and the Trade Legends crew as they welcome two special guests - Rod from The Right Flooring Company and Chris from Vanguard, a leading British van accessories manufacturer. In this insightful episode, they dive into the world of flooring, roof racks, van security, and the challenges faced by independent tradesmen. Rod shares his entrepreneurial journey, from his college days dabbling in micro-businesses to starting his own flooring company during the COVID-19 pandemic. Discover how he navigated the ups and downs, managed cash flow, and scaled his team to handle the ever-increasing demand for residential and social housing projects. Meanwhile, Chris offers an inside look at Vanguard, a true British manufacturing powerhouse. Learn about their state-of-the-art facilities in Exeter, their extensive range of roof bars, interior van racking, and cutting-edge security solutions designed to combat the rising van theft crisis plaguing the trade industry. You won't want to miss the frank discussion on the rampant issue of van theft and break-ins plaguing tradespeople across the nation. Rod and Chris pull no punches as they recount shocking stories of vans being stripped bare and the emotional toll it takes when criminals target a tradesman's livelihood. Chris even raises the controversial idea of bringing on an "ex van theft" to provide insights into their brazen tactics and mindset - a jaw-dropping proposal that could ruffle some feathers but might just offer the kind of counterintuitive perspective needed to stay one step ahead of the criminals. Brace yourself for this unfiltered, no-holds-barred conversation tackling one of the trade industry's biggest threats head-on. This episode is a must-watch for plumbers, electricians, flooring specialists, and any tradesperson seeking valuable insights into running a successful business, managing a team, and staying ahead of the curve with innovative products.
