THIS EX COFFEE ENTREPRENEUR STARTED A 7 FIGURE DEMOLITION BUSINESS

On this week’s podcast episode, I sit down with Kent Sheridan, owner of Swift Demo, who pivoted from running a high-end instant coffee startup to building a $1.5M demolition business in just a few years.

Kent shares his unconventional journey from struggling with negative cash flow in a complex manufacturing business to finding success in a simple, service-based trade.

We dive into how he scaled Swift Demo, built a highly profitable team, and overcame the challenges of starting from scratch—twice.
