#57 No More Cowboys: Training the Gripset Way

Welcome to Tiling Connect Talks — the podcast dedicated to raising the standards of Australia's tiling and construction industry. 

In this episode, we explore one of the most crucial yet often neglected aspects of building: waterproofing! I'm joined by Yandi Milans from Gripset and RLA Polymers, as well as Stephen Grech from LRV8ED. 

We explore why proper waterproofing training is not just about ticking boxes — it's about protecting reputations, properties, and the people who matter most. We unpack the value and real-world impact of the Gripset GAPP training program — a game-changing initiative designed to upskill tradies, ensure compliance, and lift industry standards from the ground up.

Whether you're a seasoned contractor, an apprentice, or a business owner looking to future-proof your workforce, this episode will leave you thinking differently about the role of waterproofing in every successful build.

Tune in and find out how knowledge, training, and the right systems can change the game — one sealed surface at a time.

So buckle up, grab a coffee (or something stronger), and let's get started!
