Brian Mininger was leading a successful construction company and flying high when the downturn of 2008/2009 hit hard. His company was over-leveraged and he had to layoff employees over several months, then shut down and fire his remaining employees two weeks before Christmas. Brian then went down an entrepreneurial path, consulting, writing, podcasting and seeking to build a new life. A wise mentor encouraged him to return to construction. He re-discovered his passion for building, not just properties, but for building people. Today he works for that mentor and is leading the new company to remarkable growth, on track to hit $10 million this year, with the goal of reaching $100 million in five years. Brian’s story is one of success, failure, depression, rebirth and renewed purpose. Access the show notes at http://www.rickcoplin.com/sts017
