What is Sawdust Sessions?
Sawdust Sessions is a weekly live conversation that shines a light on the people behind the construction industry. It’s a relaxed, honest space where tradespeople, business owners, and industry voices come together to talk about real experiences — the wins, the struggles, and everything in between.
Why it started
Sawdust Sessions was created to give the construction industry a voice beyond the job site. The goal was simple: open up real conversations around mental health, business, social media, personal journeys, and the realities of working in the trade. Too often these topics go unspoken — this platform exists to change that.
Where you can find it
Sawdust Sessions runs live on Instagram every Thursday, featuring a new guest each week from across the construction industry. Replays are available on Instagram for anyone who can’t catch it live.
How to join in
Anyone can take part. Join the live, listen in, ask questions in the comments, share your experiences, and connect with others in the industry. Whether you’re on the tools, running a business, or just starting out — you’re welcome.
