#642 Ever wondered how a high school side hustle could turn into a six-figure business acquisition? In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel talks with Joseph Lambert, founder of a junk removal company he started at just 17 that grew fast enough to sell to a private equity firm. Joseph shares how he scaled from mowing lawns to managing a 30-person team, what it was like selling the business while still in his early twenties, and the lessons he’s learned about leadership, pricing, and purpose along the way. His story proves that grit, integrity, and simple execution can lead to extraordinary success — even in the unglamorous world of trash!
