OWNR OPS Podcast How Tyler Hit $100k From Grinding Stumps!
In this week’s episode of The OWNR OPS Podcast, I have the pleasure of sitting down with Tyler Mumford, owner of GrindTime Stump Grinding.
Tyler’s story is nothing short of inspiring.
He built his stump grinding business from scratch and hit $100,000 in revenue in just 7.5 months—and he did it all solo, with no debt and no outside investment.
Tyler shares how he took the leap from a tech sales job to the world of stump grinding, how he built B2B relationships that generate consistent revenue, and the challenges he overcame along the way.
He’s not just grinding stumps—he’s building a business with grit, determination, and relentless hustle.
