The Electrician Who Hit Rock Bottom & Found His Way Back | Trade Legends Podcast

Nick Bundy wanted to be a carpenter. His dad told him that electricians earn more. That was pretty much the end of that conversation. In this episode, Nick talks through his journey from a dyslexic kid who hated school to a self-employed electrician with an apprentice, a mortgage, a family and a YouTube channel. In between there was a company that treated him like dirt, a second job at Tesco to pay for his car, his dad being diagnosed with cancer, losing his dad six weeks before his daughter was born, and then finding his best friend after he took his own life. He talks about how stumbling upon a YouTube video one night, when he was at his lowest point, changed everything. How starting his own channel gave him a reason to go back to work. And why he treats his apprentice Adam the way he always wished he had been treated.
