How I built my dream

What happens here

The speaker introduces himself and his employee, Zakk, alongside various pieces of heavy equipment including a Cast Loader. He recounts the humble beginnings of his company, starting with a dilapidated 1979 Chevy three-quarter ton pickup truck that had a large hole in the passenger floor, which allowed exhaust fumes into the cabin, requiring him to drive with windows open even while plowing snow. This illustrates starting with very limited resources and having to adapt.

Goal: Understand the initial challenges and resource constraints faced when starting a business.

Tools and materials

  • Cast Loader — Showcasing current business operations and growth from humble beginnings
  • Daewoo Excavator Daewoo 75V — Background equipment and later discussed as a less favored machine
  • Kubota Excavator Kubota KX040-4 — Background equipment representing the business's current assets
