Dirt Talk by BuildWitt ·

2021/08/19

Goodfellow Bros. has been around for a while. Started by 3 brothers after the end of World War I, the company has since worked to be one of the most trusted contractors in the industry. This week, we were lucky enough to be joined by Goodfellow Bros. CEO Chad Goodfellow, the fourth generation of family leadership at GBI. Chad grew up in the industry like many of the folks in our industry and though he's the CEO now, he spent many summers learning the industry as a laborer. He was kind enough to

Dirt Talk by BuildWitt ·

2021/08/10

Brock Johnson reached out to us and shared his story... and whaddya know, he is now this week's guest on Dirt World. Brock is an interesting combo: not only is he a full-time operator working in northern MN, but he also started Prograde Excavating and spends his weekends building his own business. He certainly works a lot these days, but it's all towards a greater purpose: more freedom and flexibility for himself and his family. In this episode, host Aaron Witt and Brock talk about the challenges of

Write What You Know with Nick Drew -- DT079

Dirt Talk by BuildWitt ·

2021/08/05

The Dirt Talk guest this week is from "across the pond," as it were: Nick Drew of Digger Man Blog fame. This week, Nick was kind and gracious enough to share his Saturday evening with us and, as Aaron Witt says, "shoot the poop." Aaron and Nick discussed Nick's construction background prior to focusing on writing about the Dirt World, what he misses (and doesn't miss) about the work, and how trolls on the internet don't deserve any recognition at all. Enjoy! Check out

G'day, fellow Dirt World people. Aaron and Alex geek out a little about the BuildWitt Team meeting that happened a few weeks ago. They eventually discuss small ways that teams/organizations can introduce training into their company culture and why some industries rely on migrant workers vs others.

2021/07/29

Marcus Sheridan is a new friend of ours, but boy, are we glad we brought him around! In his words, he's an "International Keynote Speaker on Digital Sales/Marketing, Ranked #1 LinkedIn Voices for Entrepreneurship, Author of They Ask, You Answer...and a Dang Good Follow on LinkedIn"... and sharpened all those tools moving some dirt early on. He is one of the first speakers we brought on to be featured on the BuildWitt Leaders platform, and the more we've gotten to know him and vice versa, the more we

BuildWitt Office Rundown with Molly Abbott -- DT077

Dirt Talk by BuildWitt ·

2021/07/22

Molly Abbott of ban•spas Consulting is our guest this week. ban•spas is an organizational consulting + interior design firm based in the Arizona desert, and Molly was kind enough to work on a pretty big BuildWitt project: she designed and planned out the new BuildWitt Offices in Nashville, TN. Since she and Aaron Witt are the 2 people most intimately familiar with the space, it made sense to get them to talk about the entire process! And since we got a handful of requests asking to hear an episode

We're SO excited to be sharing the link to

Practical Engineering with David Cutler -- DT076

Dirt Talk by BuildWitt ·

2021/07/15

As a general rule, we at BuildWitt LOVE to engage with people who love the Dirt World as much as we do. So, when we first started chatting with David Cutler through email, LinkedIn, etc, it was clear immediately that he's got the passion for our industry running through his veins. And as the podcast team was building out the guest list, it just started to make more and more sense to bring David on the show, and we sure are glad we did.

Aaron Takes a "Break" -- DT075.5

Dirt Talk by BuildWitt ·

2021/07/12

This week, Aaron is in Montana, taking some much-needed "time off". As you'll hear, though, he still stays pretty involved. Aaron talks about how he's spending his time alone out in the mountains, and Alex and Aaron commiserate on endless shipping delays. Aaron and Alex also answer a few listener-submitted questions. They discuss building relationships with new co-workers, being honest with customers, and Aaron's preferred boots and hardhat (we are not advertising, we swear!). To connect with

Construction Leadership with Wally Adamchik -- DT075

2021/07/08

Wally Adamchik literally runs the website constructionleadership.com. Suffice it to say, Wally is well-versed and well-traveled when it comes to leadership in the Dirt World. Wally's company FireStarter Speaking and Consulting works with companies all over the U.S., helping them to build better companies through better leadership, better operations, and better culture. Wally was kind enough to sit down with Aaron and Alex to talk all things Construction Leadership. Truly. It's one of the longest

Aaron and Alex face their toughest obstacle yet - the lawn crew just outside the windows of the BuildWitt Studios (Aaron's dining room, for just a few more weeks). But they pushed through because we're on a mission. This week, the guys take on tough topics like Santa, what industry leaders read/listen to, and will BuildWitt start selling autographed merch.

We've got another young buck on the podcast to challenge Aaron for the Young Buck throne! This week, we've got Ben Warren of Warren Land Solutions, who was gracious enough to come by the BuildWitt Studio (Aaron's house for only a few more weeks!). He mentioned that this is his first podcast appearance, but don't let the fact that he's green fool you - he has plenty of great stories and earned experience to share. Aaron and Ben dug into how the land clearing business is a different beast than other

Talk About Company Values -- DT072.5

Dirt Talk by BuildWitt ·

2021/06/21

We often speak about why our company values are important to us, and today we talk a little about why it's important for every company to be driven by those values. We believe it's not enough to identify the core values of the company - the entire company needs to be speaking those values out loud... and often.! Aaron and Alex also talk about BuildWitt employee travel (and whose responsibility it is to book it) and where Aaron is gonna park his skid steer. To connect with other people who listen to

2021/06/17

We've hinted at it for some time now, but now it's official: the BuildWitt crew has officially announced the upcoming launch of their leadership platform, BuildWitt Leaders! There have been a lot of questions about what exactly "BuildWitt Leaders" is, so we got Aaron Witt (CEO and Chief Dirt Nerd), Dan Briscoe (President), and Randy Blount (Advisor) to get together and lay it all out. Simply put, BW Leaders is an online platform of videos and education tracks for the leaders (and future leaders) of
