Summary
In this episode of Fence Guy Podcast , Craig sits down with first-time guest Kevin Hohe, a 36-year-old third-generation fence contractor who helped scale a family business from $4 million to a budgeted $90 million . Kevin unloads 10 years of raw, unfiltered takes on the construction industry, explaining why he believes traditional college routes are often a waste for tradespeople and how private equity is cannibalizing beloved family legacies . Craig and Kevin dive deep into the launch of The Honest Builder —a decentralized, self-run community designed to bring high-level EOS coaching and mentorship to the most vulnerable solopreneurs and "last hammers" on the job site . They also tackle the massive skills gap, the toxic contracts written by general contractor "litigators," and why it's time for subcontractors to know their worth and charge more . If you are a contractor, builder, or small business owner trying to escape a low-paying rut and find joy in your art again, this episode is your blueprint .
