Govcon Giants

One Wrong Subcontractor Cost Them Everything—Here's How They Survived


Listen Later

In this episode of The Eric Coffie Show, Eric sits down with longtime student-turned-power player, Randy Ward, to unpack the real-life wins, losses, crises, and comebacks behind her remarkable GovCon journey—including how she landed $17M in contracts during COVID, survived a rogue subcontractor who tried to sabotage her, and how relationships inside federal agencies saved a major project from collapsing. Eric and Randy share unfiltered stories from the field, the mindsets that separate winners from pretenders, and why the upcoming women's group inside the community is becoming a must-have space for rising GovCon leaders.

Key Takeaways
  • Relationships beat credentials—Randy's FAA contract survived because of agency trust, not paperwork.

  • Subs can make or break you—one greedy subcontractor nearly killed a multimillion-dollar project.

  • You don't need perfect credit or bonding—Randy still won contracts worth over $17M during COVID.
