In this episode of Plumbcast, Jordan and Danny sit down with Kahn Sutherland, owner and operator of an electrical business and a longtime friend of the boys.
Kahn shares how he fell into the trades after leaving school in Year 11, starting out as an offsider while still a student, and why real-world work quickly outweighed classroom learning. We talk apprenticeships, licensed trades, and the honest realities of choosing a trade over university.
The conversation also dives into trade rivalry, with a sparkie joining a plumber’s podcast, and why Kahn reckons plumbing might just be the most underrated trade out there.
Most importantly, Kahn opens up about work-life balance, what it’s really like running an electrical business while raising triplets, and how priorities shift when business growth and family life collide.
A grounded, honest chat about trade life, business ownership, and finding balance in a demanding industry.
