Now I’m in Deep South France somewhere (probably pissing off the
French with my driving) in this episode, I chat to a legend, a
true legend. Im not a believer in legend being banded about to
easy like it is. For me a “Legend” is someone that shows up day
after day, year after year consistently turning out quality work.
And this guy is it, I’ve wanted him on a Bobcast from the start.
And I’ve finally coaxed him on. Besides being of the same
generation, I’m honoured to call this guy a friend, as we’ve
chatted via various messaging for years. Sometimes it’s scary as
we both think along the same lines. He’s clearly a proud family
man and one of the nicest blokes out there in the trade that i
know has been there to help and guide others along the way. That
“legend” is Neil Johnstone based up in Ayr on the south west
coast of Scotland. It’s an interesting conversation (bear with us
as the internet was sketchy affecting the audio at times) as
we’ve both been in the trade for years and share some laughs and
dark subjects along the way. We chat such things such as:


Being a Cobbler 

Playing the Long game

Earning your stripes

Council work

Loosing it all and bouncing back 

Having a clear conscience 

Gaining clients confidence is the greatest compliment

Working for clients that appreciate your value 

Panning for gold amongst the bullshit on socials

Saying no to customers is a hard lesson to learn 

Family trades & Loosing a child to suicide

Growing up in a macho male industry 

Service (or lack of) from merchants and manufacturers 



And as always show us (Brothers of the Brush insta & Neil )
some love and give us  a shout-out on social media to show
