Most fence companies think they have a lead problem.

In reality, many have a cash flow problem.

In this solo episode, Craig breaks down the real financial mechanics behind running a fence company. Not hype. Not motivation. Just straight talk about how money actually moves through a construction business.

We cover:

• The difference between revenue, profit, and real cash

• Why being busy doesn't mean being financially stable

• How small estimating mistakes quietly eat margin

• Why growth can actually tighten cash flow

• The importance of job costing and collecting payments fast

• How to know your true monthly break-even number

• A simple 5-question self-audit every fence owner should ask

If you've ever felt tight while still booked out… this episode is for you.

This isn't about selling more jobs. It's about building a company that doesn't live under financial pressure.

🎙 BONUS EPISODE

This one's a little different.

If running your fence company feels harder than it should… if you're constantly putting out fires… if you feel like everything depends on you…

This episode is for you.

In this bonus episode, Craig talks about the uncomfortable truth most fence company owners avoid:

It's probably not your crew. It's not the economy. It's not your customers.

It's the lack of systems.

When your business is built on hustle instead of structure, growth creates chaos. Mistakes repeat. Standards slip. You become the bottleneck.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why you keep dealing with the same problems

• The real reason callbacks happen

• How undefined standards create frustration

• Why your team can't "just figure it out"

• How to stop being the system and start building one

No fluff. Just honest business talk for fence contractors who actually want to grow.

If this hits home, share it with another fence company owner who needs to hear it.

Roger Rhodes, owner of Double R Fence, joins the Fence Guy Podcast for a real conversation about what it actually takes to build and sustain a fence company over the long haul.

In this episode, we go beyond installs and materials and talk about leadership, growth, decision-making, pressure, and the lessons you only learn by being in business year after year. Roger shares perspective earned through experience — not theory — and speaks honestly about what works, what doesn't, and what most people don't see from the outside.

This is a grounded, no-hype discussion for fence contractors, business owners, and anyone trying to build something that lasts in a demanding industry.

If you value real experience over social media noise, this episode delivers.

Most contractors think their biggest problem is labor.

Employees versus subcontractors. Payroll versus flexibility. Control versus speed.

But changing your crew rarely fixes what's actually broken.

In this episode, we dig into the real reason the same problems keep showing up no matter how you staff jobs. We talk about leadership, systems, stress, responsibility, and why labor models don't solve problems — they expose them.

This isn't a W-2 vs 1099 argument. It's a hard look at why effort, hiring, and switching models don't create clarity unless leadership does.

If you've ever felt like you tried everything and still ended up in the same spot, this one will hit close to home.

In this episode of the Fence Guy Podcast, Craig sits down with industry OG and podcast host Nathan Downs for a deep, no-BS conversation about what it really takes to build a sustainable fence business.

Nathan opens up about navigating a brutal market slowdown, rebuilding an entire team mid-season, and still managing to hit record-breaking revenue. From pricing strategy and SEO dominance to leadership, hiring, systems, and mindset, this episode is packed with real-world lessons fence contractors can actually use.

You'll hear honest insights on:

• Surviving massive revenue swings and market volatility

• Why most contractors stay reactive instead of building systems

• The true cost of hiring, pricing, and scaling a fence company

• SEO, referrals, and marketing that actually works

• Leadership mistakes, personality dynamics, and DISC assessments

• Where the fence industry is headed over the next 5–10 years

• Why fencing deserves more respect as a professional trade

Plus, stick around for rapid-fire questions, wild customer stories, and Nathan's unfiltered take on what most contractors still get wrong.

Whether you're a one-truck operation or running multiple crews, this episode will challenge how you think about business, growth, and your value in the industry.

In this powerful and deeply moving episode of the Fence Guy Podcast, Craig Eubanks sits down with Van Morris—retired U.S. Navy officer, national keynote speaker, and the unforgettable voice behind Old Glory—for a conversation that goes far beyond fencing, business, or the military.

From growing up as one of 16 children in a Louisiana sharecropping family, to serving aboard U.S. Navy submarines, to speaking to over 100,000 students a year, Van shares the life experiences that shaped his leadership philosophy, patriotism, and mission to help heal America.

This episode dives into:

• What real leadership and integrity look like under pressure

• Why veterans struggle with transition—and how belonging saves lives

• The hidden realities behind veteran and youth suicide

• How trades and skilled labor provide purpose, structure, and camaraderie

• Why approachability matters more than authority

• What it truly means to be a patriot and a good steward of the land

Van also reflects on the emotional impact of his Fence Tech keynote, the responsibility leaders carry for other people's livelihoods, and why reaching Gen Z and Gen Alpha is critical to America's future.

This is not just a podcast episode—it's a call to self-assess, to lead with integrity, and to be the kind of person others can approach when it matters most.

🎧 If you care about leadership, service, veterans, faith, trades, or the future of this country—this is an episode you don't want to miss
