In Episode 12 of How Ya Travellin’? Barry Saad, CEO Truck Tech Group, relates how he started out with a set of spanners and a dream and built it into one of Australia’s biggest independent truck-maintenance businesses. But the road wasn’t smooth. Barry opens up to host Shane Jacobson about burnout, tough years in business, and how asking for help turned things around. They chat about the pressures mechanics face, why mental health should be part of every safety check, and what real leadership looks like in the workshop.
This episode was created in consultation with psychologist Arthur Papagiannis, CEO & Founder of AP Psychology & Consulting Services.
