Host's Ian MacFayden and Michael Holmes sit down with tradespeople, business owners, apprentices, and industry voices to unpack the stories, decisions, and lessons that shape life on the tools and in the office. From starting out as an apprentice, to running your first crew, to pricing jobs, managing clients, navigating burnout, hiring talent, and scaling a business — this show goes beyond surface-level advice and gets into the realities of the trade world as it actually is. If you’re in the trades, hiring trades, or building something of your own, Trade Life gives you the conversations and perspectives that help you level up.
