The Daily Dose #339 | Johno The Plumber: Saying What The Industry Won't

He's one of the fastest growing construction profiles on Instagram, because he's saying what most of the industry won't. Johno The Plumber (real name Robert Cragg) has spent 24 years in the trade and runs Cragg Plumbing & Drainage in Melbourne, working across commercial and domestic. In this episode he sits down with Az to talk about the stuff that actually needs saying: falling standards, missing accountability, care factor between trades, and how we bring apprentices up instead of writing them off. Rob doesn't point the finger without pointing it at himself first. From copping a lesson from the ATO as a young subbie, to sitting in front of five directors and agreeing his work wasn't good enough — his message is simple. Failure is your best teacher, and integrity is what makes a good builder. In this episode: Why the older generation leaving is the industry's biggest threat The Cassandra effect — why nobody listens until it's too late Care factor: the real reason trades cost each other money What it takes to build apprentices into future leaders The one word that makes a good builder Follow Rob: https://www.instagram.com/johno__the_plumber/ [https://www.instagram.com/cragg_plumbing_and_drainage/ This episode is proudly sponsored by MyConstruct — built by Australian builders, for Australian builders.
