Build Live, Byron Bay
You have had the plan for years. We build it on a Friday.
One day at the Academy HQ in Byron Bay, ten trade business owners at a time. Greg sits with you and the systems that run your business get built, tested and switched on before you fly home. Your accommodation is included and the whole room stays together.
Ten seats a day, fifty across the five Fridays. Every application goes to an interview first, because the room only works if all ten owners can commit to it.
The wall
It was never the plan. It was always the building.
We have trained more than 9,000 trade business owners across Australia and New Zealand. The frameworks land every time. The will is there every time. The thing that stops it, every single time, is the week the building was meant to happen in.
You already have the plan
The frameworks landed. The prompts are saved somewhere. The list of things you were going to automate has been on the same page for two years and not one of them is running.
You started, then it stalled at the setup
The first hour goes fine. Then it wants an account you do not have, a key you cannot find, a step nobody wrote down, and the quote you were meant to send tonight is still not sent.
You paid someone and got half a thing
Slick pitch, generic workflow, no trades context. Three months later you are out of pocket, the automation half works, and you are the one still doing the job it was meant to do.
Build Live removes the week. You fly in, you build it with us in the room, and it is running before you fly out.
The five Fridays
Five days. Ten seats each. Fifty in total.
One day a week for five weeks at the Academy HQ in Byron Bay. Pick the Friday you can genuinely be off the tools for, because once your seat is confirmed it is held for you and nobody else can take it.

The day
What actually happens in the room
No stage, no slides to sit through, no notebook. Ten laptops open, the team on your shoulder, and a business that works differently by five o’clock.
Your AI stops being generic and becomes yours
We load your brand voice, your pricing rules, your margins, your job types and your operating standards into it. Everything it writes after this sounds like you and prices like you. Most owners have never got past this step on their own.
System one gets built, and goes live
Usually quoting or lead qualification, because that is where the money leaks fastest. Built on your real business, with your real numbers, tested on a real job. Live before lunch.
The room eats together
Ten owners, one table, and the conversation you cannot get anywhere else: what everyone just built, what broke, and what they are doing about the thing you are stuck on.
Two more systems, picked off your own bottleneck
Not a curriculum everyone sits through. You name the job that is eating your week and we build the thing that takes it off you. Music on, three screens deep, and the team is on your shoulder the whole time.
You run the lot in front of the room
You drive, everyone watches, and it either works or we fix it there. Nobody flies home with a half-built system and a plan to finish it on the weekend. That is the entire point of doing this in a room.
You do not need another plan. You need a Friday and a room.
What the ticket covers
The day, the bed, and the systems you fly home with
Ten owners, one room, and what you build in it is yours. The wall behind you fills up over the day, and none of it gets wiped before you have taken it home.
Ten owners, and Greg in the room all day
Not a stage and not a webinar. Ten seats, one long table, and the founder who built a 30-plus staff electrical business sitting next to you while you build. Ten is the cap because eleven is the number where somebody stops getting helped.
Your accommodation, and the room stays together
Your stay in Byron Bay is built into the ticket and every owner in your group stays in the same place. The night before and the evening after is where half the value lands, and it does not happen if everyone scatters to a different hotel.
Three systems running in your business
Not slides, not a recording, not a workbook to action later. Working systems, live in your business, doing the job before you get on the plane. Plus every prompt written on the day, documented, so you can rebuild or extend any of it.
The Academy behind you when it breaks
A system that runs on the Friday still needs a hand in six weeks when a supplier changes a form or you add a trade. You go home into the Tradies App with the room you built alongside, and the people who built it with you.
Two ways in
Build Live, or Build Live VIP
Same day, same room, same ten seats. The difference is what happens in the six months after it. Madison walks you through both on your interview and helps you pick the one that fits.
The day, and everything in it
The full build day at the Academy HQ, your accommodation, the room, and three systems live in your business before you fly home. Everything documented and yours to keep.
The day, then six months of Greg
Everything in Build Live, then a fortnightly session with Greg personally for six months. The build day gets three systems running. The six months is where the rest of the business gets built, one session at a time, with the person who built it in his own trade business first.
How it works
From application to a seat with your name on it
Four steps, and an interview in the middle of them. We would rather turn down an application than put someone in a room they cannot get value from.
Send the application
Ten minutes. Your trade, your team, your numbers and the job that is eating your week. Be straight with it. Vague answers make for a wasted interview and a wasted seat.
You get an interview, not a sales script
Madison reads every application and calls you. We are working out two things: whether the day will actually move your business, and whether you can commit to the date, the flights and a full day off the tools. If the answer is no, we will tell you.
Your seat is confirmed and your date is locked
Price, payment and your accommodation are all settled on that call. Once the seat is yours it is held, so book your flights and tell your team you are off the tools that Friday.
You turn up with a laptop and a business
That is the whole preparation. No pre-work, no reading, no setup to get wrong before you arrive. We send one short note the week before telling you what to bring and where the room is.
“Every system we build on that Friday is a system I run in my own trade business. I am not going to sit next to you and build something I have never had to make money with.”

Be honest with yourself
Build Live is not for every owner
Ten seats and five days means fifty of these exist. Read both columns before you apply, because a seat taken by the wrong owner is a seat the right one could not get.
Right for you if
- You run a trade business today, with real jobs, real customers and real numbers to build on
- You can take a full Friday off the tools and fly into Byron Bay for it
- You want systems running in your business, not another set of notes
- You have tried to build this yourself and stalled somewhere in the setup
- You will sit in a room of ten owners and share what is actually going on in your business
- You would rather own the systems than rent an agency that owns them for you
Not right for you if
- You are shopping on price alone
- You cannot commit to a date, or you will decide the week before
- You want it built for you while you stay out of the room
- You have no business yet, or no jobs to build the systems on
- You are waiting for AI to settle down before you start
- You want a conference to sit at the back of

Your application
Ten minutes now, an interview within two business days
Madison reads every one of these herself. The straighter your answers, the faster we can tell you whether the day is worth your Friday and your airfare.
Fifty seats, five Fridays
And then it is done.
Start your application and Madison will call you within two business days to work out whether Build Live fits your business, which of the five Fridays suits, and what it costs. If you would rather talk it through before you apply, book a complimentary coaching session instead.
