Mobilization Funding Episode 91

Thinking about growing or selling your marine construction business? Or maybe you’re just curious about how to navigate the challenges of the construction industry? In this episode of The Construction MF’ers podcast, Scott Peper, CEO and Founder of Mobilization Funding, sits down with Trey Lomel, a marine construction entrepreneur who shares his incredible journey of buying, growing, and innovating in the marine construction space.

Trey’s story isn’t some polished TED Talk. He’s lived the chaos: from sweating bullets over payroll during hurricane season to breaking the ‘we’ve always done it this way’ habits that sink most construction companies. You’ll walk away with gritty takeaways on turning docks into 20-year assets, why smiling beats cussing on job sites, and how flipping boats taught him more about cash flow than corporate America ever did.
