It seems a lot of people think business success comes from luck, inheritances, natural talent or all of the above! While it can often appear as though this is the case when looking at those who have succeeded, today’s guest is here to tell you why nothing could be further from the truth. Dan Pollard knows a thing or two about success… and failure. Having lost everything more than once and the ensuing dark days he experienced, Dan has a perspective on business that is not widely spoken about. Having turned his business and life around to now be the founder of the award-winning app, Fergus, Dan shares his insights on numbers, staff and the other aspects of a great trade business.

Nicole Cox

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 host, Nicole ‘Nic’ Cox, was born into a tradie family and has first-hand experience of the gut-busting, money stress and pressures that trade businesses can place on their owners and their families! Nic strongly believes in the opportunity that exists for all tradie business owners to create a flexible, financially secure business for now and for their families’ future. She interviews guests on a range of topics such as marketing, finance, human resources, legal issues, mindset, motivation, physical and mental health, industry updates and more! Nic loves 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!
