61. Dig Deep Build Up With Evan Koehler

In Episode 61 of The Six Figure Exit, we sit down with Evan Koelher, owner of a growing excavating company, to break down what it really takes to build a profitable business in the dirt world. Evan shares how he got started, the challenges of scaling an excavation company, and the lessons he’s learned navigating jobs, equipment, and crews. We dive into real numbers, decision-making under pressure, and what separates contractors who stay small from those who build serious, scalable operations. If you’re in excavation, landscaping, or any blue-collar trade, this episode is packed with insights on pricing jobs, managing risk, buying equipment, and building a business that actually produces profit—not just revenue. This is a raw, real conversation about what it takes to go from operator to owner.
