32. Learning From Your Mistakes & Valuing What Really Matters in Business
Description
In this episode of the U Spray Podcast, the boys sit down for one of those winding, honest conversations that every tradie-turned-business-owner can relate to. The inevitable mistakes we all make along the way, the lessons that come out of those tougher moments, and why the values you hold — time, respect, and genuine connection — end up shaping the whole direction of your business.
They dive into:
- Some of the biggest business mistakes they’ve made… and what those experiences taught them
- Why things not going to plan can be a blessing in disguise
- How respecting your own time sets the tone for how others treat your business
- The value of strong relationships — with clients, suppliers, and your own team
- Corporate culture: what works, what doesn’t, and how it shapes service
- The difference between making changes vs. sitting around complaining
- Why personal connection still matters more than anything
- How service levels and customer care ultimately define your reputation
And of course, they wrap up with the latest SGC Black Friday specials and what painters should know before upgrading their spray guns.
Whether you’re growing a trade business, navigating the ups and downs of self-employment, or just want a real conversation about doing better work with better people, this episode delivers.
