In this episode of Poised for Exit, we speak with Alexis Bostrom, founder and CEO of Big Wolf Siteworks, about how she built a construction company that has grown steadily while remaining intentionally small. Alexis shares how the business began as a two person operation with her husband and evolved into a company supported by a close knit team.

Alexis walks through the realities of hiring for the first time, becoming a union shop, and expanding from residential work into government and civil projects. She discusses how operating with a small team required her to learn quickly, prioritize people and systems, and make thoughtful decisions about what projects the business could realistically take on as it grew.

Throughout the conversation, Alexis reflects on leadership, legacy, and the importance of building a company designed for long term value rather than short term hustle. Her story offers practical insight for business owners who are scaling carefully, hiring intentionally, and working to grow a construction business that can succeed beyond the founder.
