Jim Penman started out mowing lawns in the 70's. Before brush cutters were a thing for edges (remember those mongrel edging wheels?!) These days, Jim is one of the OG's of franchising in Australia as well as a grandfather, an entrepreneur and a wealth of knowledge about how to grow and adapt in business and life. We chat to Jim about his opinion of modern trade business owners, how to create raving fans from customers, what to do if you don't have the best education and whether doing a great job is enough these days.

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!
