We talk about mental health a bit here on the podcast because it's a subject close to our hearts and it's also a massive issue for ALL Australians. One company is taking mental health, and that of it's employees, so seriously that they've got their own in-house mental health advocate and he's our guest on today's real tradie guy episode! James Hill not only fills the role of Mental Health Advocate for Energy Queensland but he's also a tradie AND recently won the individual award for services to mental health in Queensland during Mental Health Week. James shares his own story (and struggle) with mental health, his experience with suicide, how he's changed during it all and some real-world tips for anyone dealing with stress, worry or other more serious issues.

Whether you're a plumber, electrician, builder, motor mechanic, landscaper, tiler, glazier, painter, carpenter, concretor or any of the myriad of trades and contractors that keep the world running, this podcast has been produced with you in mind. Your hosts, Warrick 'Waz' Bidwell and Nicole 'Nic' Cox, were both born into tradie families and have first hand experience of the gut busting, money stress and pressures that trade businesses can place on their owners and their families! Nic and Waz strongly believe in the opportunity that exists for all tradie business owners to create a flexible, financially secure business for now and for their families' future. Waz and Nic interview guests on a range of topics such as marketing, finance, human resources, legal issues, mindset, motivation, physical and mental health, industry updates and more! They love a laugh and a good story so tune in for a unique look at how to 'get off the tools' and break the cycle of financial hardship and stress to create the trade business you really wanted!
