Early on, they joined our UpScale Growth Lab program, felt the benefits firsthand, and then jumped straight into the Accelerator Program to push their growth further.

In this episode, Mitch and Kirk share real strategies for handling tough chats with your tradie crew—whether it’s about performance, attitude, or getting everyone on the same page.
