An Old Dog Learns New Tricks | Roger Wakefield The Trade Talks #151

“As a tradesmen, if you don’t know something, you must learn it.” That is the basic foundation which led to Roger Wakefield having the biggest YouTube plumbing channel in the world. He started making videos as a means to advertise for his plumbing business, but what followed wasn’t in his wildest dreams. He is walking proof that you’re never too old to start a new career or learn a new skill. At the age of 54 he started his social media journey at a conference in which he heard YouTube was the second largest search engine in the world. As he started to leave, thinking the speaker was an idiot, the speaker said, “And it’s owned by Google, the largest search engine in the world.” That was the berth of the Expert Plumber as you know him today. He’s studied under Michael Gerber and Darrell Eves, finding innovative and exciting ways to bring plumbing education to the masses. Many people are negative and wonder what if something doesn’t work. Roger follows the principle set by the GoDaddy.com founder who asks the question: “What if this does work!?” Sponsor: LeakPro Leak Detection Equipment https://leak-pro.com
