Drawing on more than 15 years of experience, Tom shares the unconventional strategy of turning job interviews into subcontracting opportunities and starting with value not just status. He outlines how to prepare your business infrastructure, adopt a winning mindset, and build strong relationships from day one. Whether you’re new to the space or struggling to gain traction, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you start smart, scale quickly, and build a sustainable GovCon business.
