In this episode of the Nailed It Podcast, we sit down with Brian Jessop, one of the founding members of Wind River Excavation, to hear how he turned back-breaking labor into a thriving business. It all started when Brian’s dad gave him an ultimatum: get a job or start digging. With nothing but a shovel and determination, Brian dug out the front of his family’s house by hand—an experience that sparked a lifelong passion for dirt work.

From teaching himself to operate heavy machinery in a neighbor’s backyard to quitting his job on the spot and launching Wind River with nothing but a rented backhoe, Brian shares the sink-or-swim moments that defined his career. Today, he oversees a team of 28, runs over 100 pieces of equipment, and continues to build some of the most challenging projects in high-end residential construction.

Brian also dives into the realities of the trades industry, including the growing labor shortage, the importance of building a trustworthy team, and why cutting corners in construction always costs more in the end.

Whether you're in construction, running a business, or just love a good underdog story, this episode is packed with hard-earned wisdom, practical advice, and plenty of inspiration.

What would you do if you lost everything?

For Alan Groves, real estate seemed like the perfect opportunity—until it all came crashing down. After making early mistakes, he ended up foreclosing on three houses, tanking his credit, and facing a harsh reality check. But instead of walking away, Alan made a choice: learn, adapt, and come back stronger.

Now, he’s a highly successful real estate investor, owning multiple Airbnbs and still flipping houses today. And his biggest flip yet? It just closed at the end of 2024.

In this episode of the Nailed It Podcast, Alan shares:

🏡 The mistakes that nearly ended his career

📈 The mindset shift that changed everything

💰 How he built his Airbnb empire & flipping business

🔥 And what it takes to turn failure into fuel for success

His story is a masterclass in resilience—and a reminder that setbacks can be the foundation for something greater.
