#009 - How TEAM Builders Grew to an 8-Figure Construction Company with Culture at It’s Core - Austin Maginnis
Manage episode 479021848 series 3610019
In this powerhouse episode, The Hidden Hustle interviews Austin Maginnis, co-founder of TEAM Builders, a high-performance construction company with locations in Iowa and Florida. What started in basements and coffee shops is now a multi-state, multi-million dollar operation pushing toward a 2030 vision of vertical integration, neighborhood development, and industry-wide impact.
Austin shares his unfiltered story — from flipping Craigslist siding to fund his first trailer, to scaling a company culture that bleeds “black and green.” He opens up about the hard lessons learned during the derecho storm, the power of systems like the “Sticky Operating System,” and how faith, reflection, and servant leadership reshaped his mission as a business owner.
Whether you’re in construction or not, this episode is packed with gems on vision, execution, and what it really takes to grow a legacy.
"How you do one thing is how you do everything." Austin’s journey is proof that success in business starts with building yourself first — and pouring into your people every step of the way.
