Overcoming Blue Monday
Description
Winter on the tools hits different. In this Overtime episode of the Off The Job Podcast, Pete and Kieran talk boiler breakdowns, blocked condensate traps, winter call-outs, and whether now is the right time to put your prices up.
The lads dive into Blue Monday, mental health in the trades, quitting vaping, ideal working weeks, van stock headaches, trade stereotypes, and the biggest trade “flexes” people love showing off online. Expect raw trade banter, real-world plumbing stories, and honest opinions about customers, builders, merchants, and life as a tradesperson in January.
