Why I Left a $10 Billion Construction Company

In this episode, Doug Bardin shares why he walked away from a leadership role at a $10 billion construction company to start DHC Contracting from scratch. He explains the moment he realized he'd regret never taking the chance, the challenges of building a company from the ground up, and what he's learned about leadership, client relationships, and long-term growth. We also discuss leaving security behind, building a business around service instead of chasing every project, lessons from the military, and the mindset required to create a company you're proud to lead.
