Manny Neves studied Film and TV and worked in Commercials and Film before coming back to construction. He jumped back into construction in 09 and started sharing the real side of construction online with "The Construction Life". Manny was approached by several producers to do a show but never agreed with the message portrayed by the usual construction shows you see out there and instead focused on building his own content. He shares a lot in this conversation, but a few things we discuss are:

How to vet clients, the number one thing young trades need to know and the difference between a great client and a difficult client!
