Description
The Puzzle Factory, powered by NZ Trade Group
Welcome to The Puzzle Factory
Hosted by Alex, this is where real conversations happen around business, money, and the trade industry in New Zealand. No fluff, just honest chats with people who are actually in it.
Hear from a wide mix of experts, operators, and personalities across different industries. What’s working, what’s not, and what it actually takes to get ahead.
A mix of insight, yarns, and the odd rant when something needs to be said.
If you’re in the trades or trying to get ahead, this is for you.
