This episode brings together some of the most honest moments from The Cost of Doing Business podcast in 2025. Real contractors sharing real experiences about pricing, profit, and the lessons they learned once they finally looked at their numbers. These aren't theories or quick tips. They're conversations about underbidding, burnout, growth, and the realization many contractors have after years of working hard without really knowing what their business was costing them. If you've ever wondered what it actually costs to run a contracting business, this is what those conversations sound like.
