A podcast for the bloke doing all of it

After The Tools Down

The conversations few of us have — but most of us need to.

Knock off & scroll

Nobody hands you a manual for doing all of it at once.

We're good with our hands. We build things, we run the business, we provide for our families. But no one teaches you how to be a present father on 60-hour weeks, how to keep a marriage strong when you're running on empty, or how to carry a business without it crushing everything else you care about.

This is a show for the bloke doing all of it at once — carrying the load, and trying to come out of it a better man than he went in. A better father, a better husband, a better example for the ones watching.


Four jobs, one bloke

The hats you wear

Running the business. Chasing invoices. Lying awake over the numbers.

Trying to be present for the kids on whatever's left in the tank.

04

Keeping a marriage alive through the tired weeks and the quiet ones.

Come on the show

If you've lived some version of this — nearly lost the business, nearly lost the marriage, figured something out the hard way — your story might be exactly what another bloke needs to hear. No prep, no grilling. Just a relaxed, honest chat like you'd have with a mate after a long day.
