Today on the show we have an incredibly special guest, Verity Hare, the Founder and Director at TradieWives. Often within the joinery industry as well as other industries like it, there's commonly the story of the husband starting his business, the wife watching him get burnt out and deciding to step in to help in some way. TradieWivies is a business dedicated to providing resources and support for women in similar positions with a flouring Facebook community and a conference being held on the 24th of May in Sydney.

On today's episode Verity speaks to Bruce about her background in the trades and what led her to starting Tradiewives, as well as her thoughts and feelings surrounding the trades industries, and why it's important for women to feel supported whether they're part of their husbands business or not.

Within the joinery industry, and especially if you've just started out, sometimes it can be hard not to let clients walk all over you, they are the ones paying your bills after all. We often talk to clients that feel as though they're the dog getting wagged by the tail so to speak, with clients changing things last minute, making strange our ridiculous demands, or dates getting changed at the last minute.
