In this episode we throw back to the first attempt that James and Nick took at podcasting. Nick dives a little bit into the story about himself and how he had to grow up quickly on the farm after his dad passed away at a young age. The guys get into to stories of grit, buckling down and getting the work done, and the issues that a lot of blue collar people face on a day to day basis. This is from our first attempt at recording so we had some mic issues, but we are learning as we go how to mitigate that!

Ep 2Ep 2: Bulldozers, Pegasus Sighting, and Building Inspections with Korey Pruett

Welcome to our first guest interview! In this episode we are joined by our long time friend Korey Pruett. Korey has an amazing story going from a six figure job as a furniture salesman to a back hoe operator, to a dozer operator, getting a chronic back injury that forced him to leave the operating world, then coming out to be a building inspector! Korey embodies the Dirty and Driven mentality because he never gave second thought to some of the decisions that set him back because he knew he would come out ahead and he did. When there was an easy path and a hard path he chose the hard path. Tune in for stories of perserverence, grit, encounters with crack heads, pegasus sightings, heavy equipment, Jesus, and pizza pockets. We promise you'll love this one!
