TBS180 Lynette Gray talks Women In Workboots, pay equality and selling a business
Or Subscribe On Your Favourite Device

I don’t often get the opportunity to speak to authors, much less those who come from the trades and blue collar industries. Even rarer is the opportunity to interview women who’ve owned a trade business, built it from scratch, sold it for a great price, all while raising a family AND then writing and launching a book about it!

Lynette Gray is one such woman and her book, Women In Workboots, is an expose of some very inspiring women (including herself!) working in ‘non-traditional’ industries such as mining, farming and transport.

Lynette has some great stories to share about starting and building a business, pay equality, selling a business and what it takes to achieve this success. Lynette now works with businesses in the transport industry, sharing her knowledge and wisdom…have a listen and you’ll get some great tidbits as well.

Tradies In Business

Ft. Nicole And Warrick

Whether you’re a plumber, electrician, builder, motor mechanic, landscaper, tiler, glazier, painter, carpenter, concretor or any of the myriad of trades and contractors that keep the world running, this podcast has been produced with you in mind. Your hosts, Warrick ‘Waz’ Bidwell and Nicole ‘Nic’ Cox, were both born into tradie families and have first hand experience of the gut busting, money stress and pressures that trade businesses can place on their owners and their families! Nic and Waz strongly believe in the opportunity that exists for all tradie business owners to create a flexible, financially secure business for now and for their families’ future. Waz and Nic interview guests on a range of topics such as marketing, finance, human resources, legal issues, mindset, motivation, physical and mental health, industry updates and more! They love a laugh and a good story so tune in for a unique look at how to ‘get off the tools’ and break the cycle of financial hardship and stress to create the trade business you really wanted!
