More “topical” episodes please!
Mike, I love TCH. You’re killing it. I’m not complaining but I wish you were still doing the “topical” episodes as you call them. The “cold call” , “first time site visit…”, etc from the first season we’re just killer. Freddy’s baseball bat is too, don’t get me wrong! Really! Lol
I was a victim of a sim-swap hack and if not for urgent intervention by a recovery experts whom I hired after my crypto account was hacked and coins stolen. The experts i hired sought the permission of INTERPOL darknet and crypto crime monitoring unit to pursue my case which ended up in a successful recovery of 90% of my lost coins. You’re free to reach out if you need help too. E f f i c i e n t N e t H a c k on Gmal
Great show
I have a small excavation and septic biz on the oregon coast and enjoy this shows themes on running a small trades based business and balancing work and life. He has a great progressive flavor on the industry which isn’t something you always find in the trades. Keith Owl properties LLC
Ella
Great to hear how things have changed for Ella! This quick round is a great catch up!
Greg
Great podcast! The thing Greg touched on at the end, it’s becoming easier to figure things out because of social media! I used to be that guy that didn’t want to ask because back then if you didn’t know you were a joke so to speak, now it’s becoming so much easier to reach out and ask those questions that you used to have to just wait and watch
Dense
This podcast packs a punch. I can’t listen to it in the background while I work, so I cue it up for materials runs or while I clean. There’s always something to write down. Plus, there is a good variety of guests. This makes my Mondays less manic!
Great to meet you at JLC! I absolutely love your pod. After meeting you and hear you talk to others, I know you’re the real deal!
Tim and Brian
Just listened to Brian and Tim! Great podcast! I’ve always enjoyed hearing their points of view, they keep it real and fun! Plus they can both teach us a few things! And like Tim gets into the “ our body’s will wear out” and how to treat ourselves better to last longer!
Automatic Upgrade
Every time the podcast is automatically downloaded, play next is my next choice. Keep up the awesome work!
Too squeaky
How many times have I had to turn a tool off or stop pushing a squeaky wheelbarrow so I wouldn’t miss an interesting moment in this podcast! A huge diversity of guests and interesting perspectives- definitely on my rotation of podcasts while I work.
The Joe Rogan of contracting podcasts!
Where do I start Mike the host of the Contracting Handbook is the most down to earth and fun loving dude you could ever want to sit and chat with. Just like Rogan Mike makes every guest feel welcome and puts them in some sort of a psychic trance. The effortless conversations he has with the contractors he has on seems effortless and fun. Seriously my favorite listen next to The Joe Rogan Experience and I look forward every week to a new guest. Give it a listen and I promise you’ll be hooked! Mike deserves for this thing to explode so let’s spread the word and get him to the top! Tom- Straight Up Stairs
Great podcast for every tradesperson. Listen and you’ll see👍
One of my favorite podcasts to listen too. Mike is one cool cat and a great host. It doesn’t matter what trade you’re in (or looking to get into), I’m sure you will gain some pertinent information from listening…and be entertained as well. It’s great hearing real stories from real people. Influencing people to get into the trades, one story at a time. Great job Mike K from the AK 🙌
Why I got into the trades
I’m a second generation builder. Growing up on a jobsite I never questioned what I wanted to do in life. My first aspirations as young as kindergarten were to be a business owner. Along the way I’ve had so many role models in the trades who have helped me in countless ways. Kevin Choquette Ravin Builders Rhode Island
Top notch pod!
Hey Mike, always appreciate listening to you and your guest on the podcast. Interesting to hear others share ideas and some of the struggles we are up against in the trades. Thought provoking for sure.

It's very interesting story
Mike is a real contractor. That comes through loud and clear in each episode. He’s obviously got many years of experience, and the tips he’s shared have already saved me thousands on a couple of personal projects. The podcast is fun to listen to, and the guest selection has been impressive. He’s a very good interviewer. Looking forward to where it goes in the future!
Very interesting podcast. Thank you for that. I listen in Stuttgart, Germany.
Mike is a kind, funny, articulate person. In a short amount of time he's gone from giving business advise he had to learn the hard way on the podcast to, interviewing industry pioneers, wave makers and norm shakers. With every episode he grows the world wide construction tribe and I'm so proud to be a part of it
I love Mike's approach to hosting real podcasts discussing very real topics related to the industry. I was humbled to have been a guest on one episode and he is a regular listen for me!
What Mike is doing with this podcast is so important. Bringing so many unique voices to the table and extracting from them real world pearls of insight for us all to benefit from. This is a serious pod. No drama, No hype, No fight, No macho nonsense. This should be on the top of everyone's list.
9 out of 10
Nothing is perfect but this podcast is excellent!
Mike, I like the way you roll. I can tell you’re thinking and processing in each conversation. It’s totally badass that you record and produce this podcast on the side. I know that it’s no joke to produce. Before I got into contracting, I was a music producer, so I know how it can be when there is one detail that needs to be just right. Man, I hope I get to meet you one day. That would be dope.
Pretty Good Podcast
Get it? I enjoy the diversity of guests from many trades and experience levels. I’m like you and build high performance as best I can with what I’ve got. I’d love to hear more from that community too. For those of you who didn’t get it, “Pretty good” podcast is a take off from the “Pretty Good House”, a book that helps set standards for hp homes. This podcast is refreshing, thoughtful, and a pleasure to listen to
