Niya Doncheva of Faux & Finish discusses leaving that higher education track career, the mind of a tradeswoman, client expectations and life.

The Contracting Handbook podcast is all about the builders and
skilled tradesmen and tradeswomen in the construction industry
from all over the world. Here you’ll meet the tradespeople who
took a leap of faith from working their craft to running the own
construction company. You’ll meet people who left lucrative
careers to enter the trades. For newcomers to running a
construction business, there is a ton of advice on “how to” run
your contracting company. For established contractors, you get to
meet other industry leaders and get behind the scenes of their
business and stay up to date with industry change. Mike Knoche,
your host, keeps the conversation interesting. He’s been
operating his contracting business for over 15 years in the oddly
wonderful, Fairbanks, Alaska. Mike’s philosophy is “we are all
experts in how we build where we live, but the business basics
and business management are universal”. Join us for this global
conversation on operating a construction company, mental health,
cool projects, and construction industry progress.
