Episode 100: TCH Halloween Podcast Special- Tales from the Jobsite

The Contracting Handbook podcast is all about the builders and skilled tradesmen and tradeswomen in the construction industry from all over the world. Here you’ll meet the tradespeople who took a leap of faith from working their craft to running the own construction company. You’ll meet people who left lucrative careers to enter the trades. For newcomers to running a construction business, there is a ton of advice on “how to” run your contracting company. For established contractors, you get to meet other industry leaders and get behind the scenes of their business and stay up to date with industry change. Mike Knoche, your host, keeps the conversation interesting. He’s been operating his contracting business for over 15 years in the oddly wonderful, Fairbanks, Alaska. Mike’s philosophy is “we are all experts in how we build where we live, but the business basics and business management are universal”. Join us for this global conversation on operating a construction company, mental health, cool projects, and construction industry progress. Host: Mike KnocheWebsite: The Contracting HandbookInstagram: @thecontractinghandbookVenmo: Mike-Knoche-1info@thecontractinghandbook.com Guest: Andy Bannister @earthtoneconstructionGena Hoyt @bigdoglifex3Krystal Brookes @_paintchick_Jasper Liles @proficientbuildersLizardo Martinez @a_builders_worldJeff Pacheco @sweet_buzz_woodworksAndy Steel @frsbuildersBeau Wheelock @thebeaubuiltcoAron Jones @bigdogconstruction.gmNiya Doncheva @girlwithpowertoolsssMike Falzon @mikes_tool_funTony McKlem @Hollywood DecksHarvey Jesso @maritimecarpenterBennett Lyster @builderbennettDoug Roberts @nextlevelhandymanserviceNate Schuele @full.tilt.timber.framingParis Benay @waka_wahineAaron Butt @aaronthomasaquinasKali Sudbrook @kalithecontractorMichael Anschel @oabuildsRyan Smith @roofslayer2681 Brant Taylor @thetoolhacker Thanks to Pixabay for music and sound effectsPhoto Credit: @david w shaw
