Welcome back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast.

In the hotseat today is Jason Priest, co-founder of WIRED Overhead Solutions.

WIRED are doing really well for themselves - and Jason is here to explain exactly how they've gone from fledgling start-up to landing contracts on some of Queensland's biggest ever rail projects.

The trick for their success? Writing a business case before they even got started, that laid out a roadmap for what to do when they hit the good, bad and the ugly.

Sharing lessons from his time as a young adult in the Navy and making the leap from comfy corporate lifestyle to building a business - Jason gives the rundown on getting funded, insured, landing Tier One contracts and reaping the rewards of hard work.

Let's dive in!
