Show Notes
Leadership for tradies starts here. Tradies Who Lead is the podcast bringing practical leadership to every tradie in Australia and New Zealand, whether you're an apprentice, a supervisor, or running your own crew.
Hosted by Ashley Belteky, a diesel mechanic by trade, each episode features real tradies, supervisors, and business owners from mining, transport, and construction talking about how they practice leadership onsite, without waiting for a title to give them permission.
You don't need a title to be a leader in the trades. This show exists to prove it.
🎙️ Real conversations on leadership for tradies, straight from people doing the work 🛠️ Practical leadership skills and tools you can apply onsite this week 💪 Built for apprentices, supervisors, and trade business owners who want to grow, not just in their trade, but as a leader
