It’s Friday — payday for some, stress day for others. In this episode of The Builders Show, hosts Cameron Vogelsang and Will Betances break down the realities contractors face when payroll, cash flow, and business discipline collide.
🔥 Topics covered today:
Why contractors often pay themselves last — and what it means to run payroll when cash is tight
The biggest mistakes owners make with money, growth, and rainy-day planning
The culture of hate in the trades: why electricians get labeled the “biggest divas” online
The truth about training, leadership, and why owners are usually the weakest link in their own company
Why soft skills matter more than hard skills if you want to build a sustainable career in construction
This is a must-listen for anyone in the trades who’s tired of excuses, ready to face the truth, and serious about building a future in construction.
