Im not a believer in legend being banded about to easy like it is. For me a “Legend” is someone that shows up day after day, year after year consistently turning out quality work. And this guy is it, I’ve wanted him on a Bobcast from the start. And I’ve finally coaxed him on. Besides being of the same generation, I’m honoured to call this guy a friend, as we’ve chatted via various messaging for years. Sometimes it’s scary as we both think along the same lines. He’s clearly a proud family man and one of the nicest blokes out there in the trade that i know has been there to help and guide others along the way. That “legend” is Neil Johnstone based up in Ayr on the south west coast of Scotland. It’s an interesting conversation (bear with us as the internet was sketchy affecting the audio at times) as we’ve both been in the trade for years and share some laughs and dark subjects along the way. We chat such things such as:Being a Cobbler Playing the Long gameEarning your stripesCouncil workLoosing it all and bouncing back Having a clear conscience Gaining clients confidence is the greatest complimentWorking for clients that appreciate your value Panning for gold amongst the bullshit on socialsSaying no to customers is a hard lesson to learn Family trades & Loosing a child to suicideGrowing up in a macho male industry Service (or lack of) from merchants and manufacturers And as always show us (Brothers of the Brush insta & Neil ) some love and give us a shout-out on social media to show your support!Links:Web: https://www.njdecorators.co.uk/Insta: https://www.instagram.com/njspray_finishes?igsh=YTM2eG0wczlvb3A=So you know the score by now get a brew grab your headphones put your feet up as Brothers of the Brush podcast is back and coming in your Ears!!Support the showWhatsApp: +447902571414Email: info@brothersofthebrushpodcast.co.ukCommercial Clients: jenny@brothersofthebrushpodcast.co.uk
