Crushing It In Construction

#65 Starting Out In Business Young And Growing A Huge Following With Jimmy Starbuck

Jordan Skinner

Welcome back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast.

This week I'm delighted to joined by the inimitable Jimmy Starbuck - Founder and Director of Starbuck Excavation in Melbourne, Victoria.

Jimmy has been around earthmoving for all his life - at the ripe age of 19 he went out and bought a 2.7ton excavator, throwing himself headfirst into the world of seeking customers, pricing jobs and growing the company name.

In our chat, he shares the tricks and tactics he used to stand out from the crowd, gaining the respect he needed to handle the big jobs and be respected as a young head in the game.

These days, Jimmy also runs a massive business Instagram account (clocking in at 47.1k followers) where he shares everything going on day-to-day in the life of one of Australia's busiest earthmovers.

This episode is packed to the brim and Jimmy's a real standup guy. Let's dive in!
