How Two Teenage Brothers Built a $900k Junk Removal Business with No Money. Ep #054
Manage episode 435011247 series 3509437
I sat down with Kirk McKinney, a young and determined entrepreneur who found a business opportunity completely by accident. Kirk shares the story of how a casual bike ride led him to a local dump, where he stumbled upon valuable items that others had discarded. What began as a simple hobby quickly turned into a thriving junk removal business, pulling in over $900K in revenue. In our conversation, Kirk talks about how he balanced school while building his business, the challenges he faced trying to grow with limited resources, and the important lessons he picked up along the way.
