Show Notes
Welcome to the Fix & Fly Podcast hosted by Larissa Logan from Fixity.
Our guest is Jamie Summers, Stroke Aotearoa NZ Board Member and Health15 Ambassador.
After suffering a stroke in 2019, Jamie turned his own experience into a mission — bringing health and wellness checks directly to construction sites across New Zealand.
Jamie shares why tradies are among the hardest people to get in front of when it comes to health, why up to 80% of strokes are preventable and what the construction sector needs to do to take the health of its people as seriously as it takes safety. He opens up about the mental burden of serious illness and why stress and burnout in the sector are warning signs that can't be ignored.
If you work in construction or run a business with a team, this episode could change how you think about looking after your people.
