How to Grow & When to Exit: 40 Years of Construction Industry Wisdom with Dan Ugalde.
What does it take to weather four decades of growth and regulation in the highly competitive market of supplying equipment to construction sites?
To find out, Mark interviews Dan Ugalde, a long-time Board Member of the Southern California Contractors Association. Dan grew a highly successful trucking company that supplied earthmoving trucks to construction sites throughout SoCal.
After a long and productive career, Dan took an interesting approach when exiting his company: he chose to liquidate rather than sell. Through that process, he made sure his key employees were well taken care of, helping many of them retire or find places within the industry.
A master at forming long-term relationships, Dan is also very active in helping the industry fight harmful legislation, having also served on the SCCA Legislative Committee.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
