Bryan Baeumler ... Measure Twice, Cut Once

Bryan Baeumler is a hoot! A father of four, pilot, TV star, contractor, and spear fisherman, discussed his journey from starting a handyman business at 14 to becoming a successful contractor and TV personality. He shared his experiences, including his early days in the trades, the stigma around the trades, and the evolving perception of the trades. Bryan also talks about his family, including his children's diverse interests and achievements. There is always something brewing with the B Team and I'm grateful that he makes time in his schedule for us to catch up. From his first visit on my radio show, to a vacation at Caerula Mar Club on South Andros in The Bahamas, I value his friendship and genuineness.
