Cason Rawson didn’t just build Apex Excavating & Underground overnight — he did it while keeping a cool head through 90-day payment delays and the pressure of feeding twelve families every week.

In this episode, Cason opens up about:

✅How he bootstrapped from weekend septic jobs to multi-million-dollar bids.

✅The hard truth about government work: you’d better have four months of payroll in the bank.

✅Why loyal relationships with banks and insurers matter more than a cheaper quote.

✅Letting go of control — and why getting a good right-hand man and an accountant changed everything.

Takeaways:

✔️ Always have at least 120 days of cash flow ready.

✔️ Payroll comes first, profit second — crews keep you in business.

✔️ Stick with the people who stuck with you.

✔️ Get out of the paperwork and back into the field.
