In this episode, Greg Wilkes sits down with hormone educator Dave Lee to make testosterone practical for builders and business owners — how it affects stress, decision-making and day-to-day performance, and when TRT helps (and when it doesn’t).

🔹 Key topics:

✅ Symptoms & testing done right — why “normal range” can still feel awful, what comprehensive bloods should include, and Dave’s “pop the bonnet” approach to finding root causes before touching hormones.

✅ TRT isn’t a silver bullet — it lays the foundation, but habits build the house. Expect side effects if you try to “supercharge the engine” without learning to drive.

✅ Why younger men are struggling — from puberty-era obesity to endocrine disruptors (plastics, pesticides), the modern environment is hitting male hormones hard.

✅ Performance & stress resilience — how optimised testosterone and DHT support reward processing, buffer stress (via GABA pathways), and help you show up as a steadier leader under pressure.

✅ Mindfulness that actually works — eight weeks of daily practice measurably strengthens focus (prefrontal cortex) and quiets the brain’s stress alarm (amygdala) — a high-ROI tool for owners in the thick of it.

If you’re running low on energy, battling poor sleep or motivation, or just feel “off”, this episode gives you a clear, no-nonsense roadmap: dial in habits, get proper labs, and make smart decisions about TRT with the right specialist. Tune in and take notes. Your health is a growth lever.

In this episode, Greg Wilkes sits down with fire engineer Andrea White to make Part B practical for builders and developers, so you can design once, build once, and get signed off first time.

🔹 Key topics:

✅ Part B made simple — what B1–B5 actually mean on a live job (escape, linings, structure, external spread, fire-service access)
✅ When to involve a fire engineer — planning, Gateway checks, and avoiding redraws at RIBA 3/4
✅ Open-plan layouts that pass — workable routes for ground-floor kitchens, loft conversions and flats over shops
✅ Compartmentation done right — doorsets, cavity barriers, fire-stopping, and the photo evidence building control expects
✅ Detection, alarms and sprinklers — myths busted (no, they don’t all go off at once) and where systems make or break approval
✅ Smoke control basics — AOVs vs. manual vents, protected stairs and keeping travel distances sensible
✅ Regulation 38 handover packs — what must be in your client’s fire information at completion
✅ Common pitfalls — the details that trigger refusals, redesigns and costly delays (and how to avoid them)

If you’ve ever had plans knocked back, juggled contradictory advice, or burned time on late-stage fire fixes, Andrea’s guidance will help you plan earlier, de-risk your design, and move through building control with confidence. Tune in and take notes—this episode could save you weeks and thousands.

In this episode, Greg Wilkes sits down with Raine Gerber, CEO of Quantum Contract Solutions and a subcontractor-turned-contracts expert, who has reviewed over 7,000 agreements to unpack why delivery alone won’t protect your profit, and how to negotiate contracts that actually work for you.

🔹 Key topics

✅ Lessons from losing a business — how a single hidden clause strangled cashflow and shut the doors on an otherwise profitable company
✅ The “standard contract” myth — why they’re almost always amended and how to spot risk-shifting tweaks
✅ The big five red flags — payment terms, termination rights, uncapped liability, liquidated damages without caps, and rolling warranties
✅ Negotiating without losing the job — focusing on your top 10 risks, trading clauses for price adjustments, and why pushback builds respect
✅ Post-signature discipline — embedding compliance from day one, capturing a watertight body of evidence, and avoiding costly disputes
✅ Dispute resolution that works — suspension clauses, internal resolution meetings with senior decision-makers, and using third parties to remove emotion
✅ Cashflow levers — shortening payment terms, defining “approval,” securing mobilisation/materials deposits, and structuring milestone payments
✅ Why early engagement pays — the benefits of having a fractional commercial team on your side before you ever sign

If you’ve ever signed a contract you didn’t fully understand, been stung by surprise clauses, or struggled to get paid on time, Raine’s playbook shows exactly how to protect your business, negotiate from strength, and keep cash flow healthy. Tune in and take notes. This episode could save you six figures.
