#78 Building Bridges, Dedicated Team Players AND The Business With Con O'Connor
Welcome back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast.
Joining from across the pond is Oregon-based bridge builder Con O'Connor, President of Hamilton Construction.
With Hamilton diversifying over the last few years to offer more services and reach a wider target market, Con takes a step back to reflect on the successes, important lessons and business wisdom gained from his time in charge.
And he's no stranger to the company, having started as a Project Manager back in 1998.

Con knows his business inside out and puts so much trust in his team - join us for an insight-packed discussion.

#77 Hit The Ground Running! Co-Founding A Business To Semi-Retirement In Nine Years With Guy Schweitzer
Welcome back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast.
In the hot seat this week is Guy Schweitzer, one of the founding directors of MGN Civil in New South Wales.
Now a national company taking on projects from east to west, MGN have grown rapidly since forming in 2015 - as Guy reveals, it really has been an unstoppable journey.
He shares how some old-fashioned interpersonal skills landed them an early client who sorted them out with all the necessary accreditation, and how this pivotal job set them on their upward journey.
Plenty to gain from this chat, as Guy reflects on a whirlwind few years and enjoys the perks of semi-retirement now that the infrastructure is in place.
He even managed to run across the width of Australia... it took him 78 days!
