  • Who said stone masons don’t have a personality

    What a fabulous ep with Cam, owner of Peninsula Stonemasons. I learnt about things l didn’t know l needed to know. All articulated by a man giving important life lessons, so intelligent, so humble and delivered in a relaxed and chatty manner. Left me wanting to hear more. Looking forward to listening to more of your episodes. @peninsula_stonemasons

  • Landscaper review

    Being a landscaper I look forward to new episodes being released but I found there is too much of a focus most episodes on garden shows.

    These for most landscapers are something that is not that important, but seems to be a common theme throughout this podcast. I find myself tuning out a bit once that conversation starts up.

    But overall it’s been good to listen to each week.
