Episode #125: Dirt Bag of the Year | Mack Lipka

He quit his job in November of 2022, sold a piece of property, borrowed from his retirement fund, bought a 2012 pickup, and went all in. Today Mack Lipka owns Black Diamond Landworks out of Kalispell, Montana and is the first ever Dirt Bags Podcast Dirt Bag of the Year belt holder. In this episode Mack breaks down how he bootstrapped his excavation and land company from the ground up, what it really takes to go out on your own with no guarantees, and how keeping it simple has been the key to everything. We talk equipment, hiring, scope creep, contracts, managing customers, and what he would tell anyone thinking about jumping into the excavation or land space today. Mack is the real deal and this one is worth every minute.
