ABOUT THE GUEST
Tim Meuchel is the creator, best selling author, and podcast host of The 10 Factor.
He’s a graduate engineer from Virginia Tech, and spent 12 years in the private sector managing large commercial construction projects from coast-to-coast for a 100-year old company. Tim’s plan from day 1 was to retire with that company until a series of events several years later led him to start considering other options.
Tim kept his job but started discussing an exit strategy with his wife and circle of influence. These discussions continued for several more years until eventually he secured a contractor’s license and started a side business in 2007.
