Ep 47. Commonalities Amongst All Contractors
Today I got to interview Manny Neves from the Construction Life Podcast for my own show. Manny was a general contractor for years and started his podcast out on the job sites.
Obviously, my background is in landscaping, so what I wanted to do was to pick his brain on what challenges he saw in contractors succeeding from his background as a general contractor.

Customer Reviews
Next Level Thinking
I’ve been following Weston on his journey for the last few years and have really enjoyed his content. At the time of this review he only has 3 episodes posted, but you can already tell this podcast is going to be a MUST listen. His guests are open and honest about their struggles and challenges they’ve faced in business. It’s nice to be able to relate to the guests and know you’re not the only one out there dealing with similar situations.
Keep up the great work Weston. You’re on to something great. Can’t wait to join the SynkedUp team in my company!
It’s About Time
I’ve heard Weston on other podcasts and am thrilled to get his business advice and perspective on a regular basis!!!
