What if the key to a multi-million dollar business was hidden in corporate America's trash bins? Meet Damon Carson, CEO of Repurposed Materials Inc., who built a nationwide empire by betting on industrial waste that others pay to destroy.

In this revealing conversation, discover why major corporations choose landfills over reuse, learn the surprising economics behind the "fast nickel or slow dime" approach to waste management, and explore how one entrepreneur's "Reese's moment" transformed into six warehouses full of materials waiting for their second life.
