Grant Stahla built Stahla Services in a niche most people would overlook: premium mobile restroom trailers, shower trailers, and temporary site support.
But the real story is not about trailers. It is about capital pressure, sales discipline, hiring the right people, managing seasonality, using vendors well, and building a business that can keep growing without losing what makes it work.
Some businesses look simple from the outside.
Then you hear what it actually takes to build one.
In this episode, Andy and Elliot sit down with Grant to talk through the lessons behind more than a decade of building, struggling, adjusting, and scaling.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why a narrow niche can become a serious growth advantage
- How Stahla went from brand-first marketing to a real sales system
- Why the right leadership hire can expose the gap you did not know you had
- How creative contracting helps manage seasonality and protect overhead
- Why AI should strengthen the business without damaging the customer experience
If you own, lead, or help run a trades business, this episode will hit home.
