Show notes



In this special short bonus episode of The Stripped Back Podcast, Stephen reflects on the evolution of the electrical industry since beginning his career in 2006. From traditional installation methods and simpler electrical systems to the rise of solar PV, electric vehicle charging, smart homes, energy management systems and connected technologies, the trade has transformed dramatically over the last two decades.


Stephen shares his thoughts on the challenges, opportunities and lessons learned along the way, while exploring why today’s electrician must continually adapt, upskill and embrace innovation to remain relevant in an ever-changing industry.


A personal reflection on where the trade has come from, where it is today, and what the future may hold for the next generation of electricians.
