2025/12/20

Back on the lounge today we have Brandon Willington from WhereU. Brandon is an absolute legend and I love how he goes about things. We have used (and still use) the WhereU product and honestly, I can’t speak highly enough of it. The growth trajectory of their business is a true testament to their unwavering dedication to product development, hiring a great team + creating (and continually refining) a great customer experience. We chat through his newly built bat cave, growth, numbers, product

Electrical Lords // “Where’s The Money?” Fat Tony Style

Sparky Coach ·

2025/12/17

“You see, my wife, she has been most vocal on the subject of the pretzel monies. Where’s the money? When are you going to get the money? Why aren’t you getting the money now? And so on. So please, the money”. -Fat Tony // The Simpsons (Season 8 Episode 11)Ah money, what a glorious subject! The harsh reality is that is if your business is not making money there are two main options: Option 1: Change what you’re doing. Option 2: Stop what you’re doing. But what is good money in an electrical

Electrical Lords // The King Of Wishful Thinking

Sparky Coach ·

2025/12/15

If you’re wondering if this is a 1990 Go West reference, then wonder no more. In this pod we chat through the wishful thinking aka “toxic optimism” aka blind faith that is so very easy to adopt in business life. And while we are all for optimism, and seeing the best in people, and seeing a positive future for your business, sometimes burying your head in the sand can come with some serious ramifications. Take these three examples as case in point: Example 1: “I’ll just work harder and then the money

Today on the lounge we have Sam Hooper from SBH Electrical based out of Melbourne aka the self appointed and self anointed “sexiest man ever to cross from VFL to electrical business owner. To know Sam is to love Sam. A genuine guy, super nice, super thoughtful, super driven, super switched on, super honest, super tall (lol), and someone for sure you want to have on your team. We discuss starting out, numbers, staff, hiring, real estate work, builders, commercial clients, personal development,

Electrical Lords // Coz Baby Now We’ve Got Bad Blood

Sparky Coach ·

2025/12/10

Ah yes Taylor Swift references are alive and well in the Sparky Coach dojo that’s for sure. Today we discuss the harsh reality of your weapon employees leaving to start their own business. Some call it a dagger to the soul, some call it an inevitable part of business journey, some go into protection mode, some get mad, some get sad, some kick out swiftly, some play the Happy Gilmore card and say “I’m sorry baby I didn’t mean that I would love you to stay around”. One thing is for sure though, anyone

Electrical Lords // It’s A Cruel Summer

Sparky Coach ·

2025/12/09

Yes the Taylor Swift lyrics are deliberate and no they won’t stop anytime soon. In fact, “don’t stop won’t stop” could soon be our new motto. In todays pod we stop, collaborate and listen (Vanilla Ice style) to the trade gods as the help us plan and prepare for the best December / Jan / Christmas period yet. Wherever you’re at right now it’s important that you slow down, nail the schedule, plan January, get your invoices out, have a holiday, have someone on call, keep all your clients in the loop,

Incase you haven’t heard, the rumours are actually true. Josey Bremner, of Bremner Electrical, can indeed perform a high kick like a ballerina. In all seriousness though, I was super stoked to have Josey on the pod. He is such a humble, honest, down to earth, approachable, fun, light hearted and passionate guy it honestly felt like we could have talked all day. We discuss business, growth, operations managers, admin, working hard, working smart, quoting, process + much much more. What a pleasure it

Electrical Lords // Wait Is There Rice In Fried Rice?

Sparky Coach ·

2025/12/03

So this morning in my Wednesday ritual of making fried rice for school lunches, my 6 year old Jasper walked into the kitchen and said “WAIT IS THERE RICE IN FRIED RICE?!?”Bewildered and confused, he actually couldn’t believe it. And here I was thinking the name “fried rice” effortlessly gave all its simple secrets away. But it got me thinking how often we as business owners don’t stop and see the simplicity of running a business. Essentially all we are doing, as sparky business owners, is buying and

Electrical Lords // I Guess It’s Just Another Night...

Sparky Coach ·

2025/12/01

Yeh that’s right it’s the chorus from Blink 182’s classic “Carousel” from the 1995 album “Chesire Cat”. On today’s pod we discuss the importance of releasing your back end admin so you can get back to what you do best. And it really doesn’t have to necessarily even be back end admin, it can be any form of work that you can either automate or delegate. Our general rule of thumb is, if you’re working really hard after hours and it’s only on items that “maintain” the business (ie invoicing,

The Ryelec team are in the house! Today we are joined by Tommy and his right hand person Max. As we all know, Ryelec is one of the industry leaders in the home and commercial automation space. If the definition of excellence is doing what you do with a good attitude; then Ryelec is no doubt excellent. Not only are they good at their job, but they are absolute legends to deal with too. Max has been with Ryelec for (almost) 10 years now and has seen the company go from vision to execution, from

Electrical Lords // But I’ve Got A Blank Space Baby

Sparky Coach ·

2025/11/26

Yes you read correctly. Taylor Swift lyrics have entered the chat. Did you know I once touched her hair? True story tbh. I know what you’re thinking too… “Cool story Hansel” lololol. On today’s pod we talk about the importance of having a “blank space” in your schedule. If you (and your team) keep finding the schedule is too jacked, packed and stacked to the rafters you can be unconsciously sailing toward dangerous territory. You can find yourself consistently letting people down, not getting back

Electrical Lords // You Gotta Keep ‘Em Seperated

Sparky Coach ·

2025/11/26

Yes you read that right, and it’s of course a shout out to The Offspring “Come Out And Play” from the 1994 classic album “Smash”. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, what a time to be alive! In this pod we talk about the importance of excellent staff. Put simply: excellent staff produce an excellent product. An excellent product ensures the client is happy. Happy clients come back and buy more things and telling their friends. Clients buying more things and telling their friends is good for

Electrical Lords // Hotel Motel Holiday Inn

Sparky Coach ·

2025/11/19

“We at the hotel motel holiday iinnnnnnnnn”. While some of us (ok ok mainly just me) are learning that this in fact a Pitbull song, the rest of us (ok ok maybe everyone) will be wondering what on earth does Pitbull, hotels, motels and holiday inns have to do with your electrical business? It is, in fact, a good question. Recently I was at our local show. It was pretty much an all out carny affair full of luxury items (nay, the necessities) like dodgem cars, fairy floss and hotted up V8 tractor

2025/11/17

“Boats n hoes boats n hoes gotta have me my boats n hoes” // Step Brothers You know the song! Ah Step Brothers, what a movie! Greatest of all time? Maybe not, but definitely up there in my top 10 that’s for sure. Today we are talking about office essentials. What can’t you live without? What do you “gotta have” in there? What is a must have or essential item to ensure that you have the most productive day?The office is the engine room of the business. We all know the money is made or lost in the

So pumped to have Willman (Willman Electrical) + Heath (hspark Electrical) drop by the lounge for a chat. We discuss pricing, sales, the importance of weekly invoicing, sparkies helping sparkies, branding, business growth, client relationships + much more. We even manage to give some PG relationship advice along the way!! I’ve got a lot of respect for these guys and I am super thankful they came past for a catch up. We even managed to get a lighthouse sunrise in and an amazing Thai dinner banquet

Sparky Coach ·

2025/11/12

Insert Vince Vaughn from Old School saying “ear muffs ear muffs” lololol. The Christmas run in is real!! 6 weeks to go. Crazy hey?!? So often in the busy-ness of business it’s incredibly easy to make a bad decision / mistake. For instance, sending the wrong person to the right job, having the wrong person in general, a quick quote that’s not thought through enough, a phone conversation when it should have been an email and so on and so on. We know the best decisions are made with a clear headspace

Sparky Coach ·

2025/11/10

Ok you know the song. It’s from one of the greatest movies of all time Step Brothers. It goes like this… “boats n hoes boats n hoes gotta have me my boats n hoes”. And omg… LOL. What a movie. What a time to be alive. But the song got me thinking, what have you “gotta have” in your business? So we started a series. We start it with part one (obvs), welcome to the discussion on site necessities. We asked around some of our mates and compiled the answers for your listening / viewing pleasure. And let

Wasssuppp lords! On today’s session of “Sunday School” we have none other than Josh Ford aka Fordy aka The Ford Lord aka the unofficial god / deity of starting businesses and social media. Ford gives us a pretty thorough run through of Capcut and how he uses it to edit his videos for New Age and Lock Out + Live etc. In the modern world of social media if you’re producing a lot of content there is nothing quite like gripping it and ripping it (ie knowing how to do it yourself). If you’re starting out

Sparky Coach ·

2025/11/05

Let’s face some facts, unless you have a serious chip in there will probably be a fair bit of work in getting your business (aka client base) off the ground. Common chips in include taking over a family business, having builder friends, having friends in high places in schools, knowing people in the commercial space, dating a contracts admin (lol), marrying a realtor or a real estate receptionist, having good family contacts and so on. These chip ins will be able to give you work, and not just one
