The Builders Show | TGIF? Why Contractors Need More Than Fridays to Survive
Work & Talk Podcast
It’s Friday—and for most people, that means payday, clocking out early, and counting down to the weekend. But for contractors, “Thank God It’s Friday” hits different.
In this episode, Cameron Vogelsang and Will Betances break down why living for Fridays is a trap, why late nights and burnout aren’t a badge of honor, and how to build your career (or company) on vision and a plan instead of just working for the next check.
🔥 Topics covered:
TGIF culture: what it says about your week
Why late nights (2 AM hustle) should be temporary, not permanent
Contractors calling everything an “investment” — when it’s really just poor planning
Lessons from the trades: startup energy vs. long-term sustainability
How to define success for yourself, your family, and your crew
Practical advice for apprentices and new contractors
Bottom line: Don’t just work until Friday. Work toward something bigger.
