#110 From Army Vet to Multi-Million Dollar Family Business in High-Stakes Ground Stabilization With James Rutledge
Welcome Back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast.
This week, we chatted with James Rutledge, the gritty founder of Rutledge Drilling - a family owned and operated geotechnical drilling and stabilisation company.
From dodging cyclones to rebuilding after floods, James knows what it takes to stabilize both crumbling hillsides and a growing business. He shares his unorthodox journey from Army vet to underground miner to high-risk license trainer and why he finally decided to stop making money for someone else.
Ever wondered how to turn a niche trade into an industry contender? Curious what happens when you mix family dynamics with heavy machinery? Or just want to hear why “some people have to piss on the electric fence to learn”? Strap in! This one’s packed with hard-won wisdom.
