In this episode of Born For The Trades, host Shreya dives deep with Sandy Papavero, a Master and Growth Advisor at CEO Warrior. With a career spanning sales consulting for industry giants like Tony Robbins and Chet Holmes, and expertise in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), Sandy has made it her mission to help home service professionals shatter limiting beliefs and reach new heights in business and life.
Sandy shares her journey—how she transitioned into CEO Warrior and what drives her passion for coaching. She breaks down the common thought patterns found in the most successful people, revealing whether these traits are innate or something that can be learned. Spoiler alert: the right mindset isn’t just for the lucky few—it can be cultivated, and she knows how to help leaders do just that.
The conversation takes an honest turn toward mental health in the trades industry, a topic that’s often brushed under the rug. Sandy discusses why emotional resilience is just as critical as technical skills and how addressing mental well-being can lead to stronger leadership, higher retention, and ultimately, a more successful business.
A major challenge in any company is the disconnect between employees and management. How do you ensure that leaders—especially those who aren’t owners—operate at the highest possible level? Sandy explains how to bridge this gap, ensuring that training and growth don’t just create temporary shifts but lead to lasting transformation. When employees struggle to communicate effectively with their managers, it’s usually a short-term issue. But how do you make improvements stick? Sandy shares her insights on implementing strategies that go beyond quick fixes and create lasting impact.
For those who recognize a need for coaching—whether it’s improving leadership, fixing communication gaps, or shifting mindsets—Sandy walks us through the process of transforming problems into solutions. From the moment someone reaches out to her, she focuses on identifying the root causes, breaking through barriers, and equipping leaders with the tools they need to drive real change.
If you’re wondering whether coaching is right for you or your business, Sandy describes her ideal client—someone ready to take action, open to change, and committed to long-term success. She also shares the best way to get in touch for a strategy session through CEO Warrior.
This episode is packed with game-changing insights for anyone in the trades industry looking to break through limitations and achieve their highest potential. Whether you’re an owner, manager, or frontline worker with leadership ambitions, Sandy’s expertise is a must-hear!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
