## Resource

In this episode, we sit down with Saul Whelan to dive into his journey from school into the world of surveying and the wider construction industry. Saul shares a refreshingly honest perspective on carving out a career path at a young age, highlighting the opportunities that exist within the trades and beyond. We explore how social media and AI are rapidly shaping the construction industry, from changing how people learn and connect, to improving productivity and opening new doors for the next generation. A powerful part of this conversation focuses on mental health, particularly among men in the industry. Saul speaks openly about the challenges, the misunderstandings that can arise, and why having honest conversations is more important than ever. This episode is a mix of real talk, industry insight, and a reminder of the importance of looking after both your career and your mental wellbeing.
