Description
The Take Off is a Specialist Construction Podcast for the Australian & New Zealand Construction Markets. Each week, your host, Mick Donaghy will interview a leading Construction Entrepreneur or Leader within the Built Environment to share their story. Our goal is to show the good, the bad and the imperfect of the construction industry. As we all know, construction is a people business and we as people are fundamentally, imperfect.
Which is part of the reason why we all love stories. The Highs, the Lows and the continued Battle to be Better.
