Zig’s got one foot in public service and the other in the world of pressure washing — and he’s doing both with purpose. When he’s not on duty or out in the woods hunting and fishing, he’s building a solid, profitable pressure washing business… without blowing the bank on flashy equipment.

We dive into one of the most common mistakes new guys make in the industry — spending too much money too early on gear they don’t need. Zig shares real talk about how he started lean, grew smart, and avoided falling into the trap of chasing the “big rig” before building the foundation.

If you’re new to the pressure washing game or just trying to figure out how to grow without going broke, this episode is packed with insight, hard-earned wisdom, and a few laughs along the way.

🎯 What we cover:

• Why a $20K rig won’t save a $2K mindset
• Smart gear investments vs. money pits
• Running a business around shift work
• Balancing passion, purpose, and profits
• The discipline that comes from being a firefighter and outdoorsman

Whether you're still pricing out hoses or thinking about quitting your day job, Zig’s story is proof that you don’t need to start big — just start smart.
