Today on the podcast it’s a panel discussion (recorded at our live event this week on the Gold Coast) hosted by Cam ft Fordy (New Age Electrical), Hib (Hib Electrical) + Josey (Bremner Electrical). 

All four of these guys have released admin + operations and they are here to share their insights, thoughts, success stories, horror stories, and everything in between.
