Measure Twice, Bid Once.

Bidding jobs can make or break a business in the trades. In this episode of Blue Collar Outdoors, we sit down with the Frazey Brothers to talk about what really goes into pricing a job, avoiding costly mistakes, handling unexpected problems, knowing when to say no, and figuring out what jobs are actually worth your time.

We also share some of our worst bids, biggest jobsite lessons, and how tools like ChatGPT are changing the way we approach estimates and visualize projects.

Whether you're running a business, working in the trades, or thinking about starting one, there's something here for you.

What’s the biggest bidding mistake you’ve ever made? Drop it in the comments — we want to hear your stories.

Episode 3 is a big one for Blue Collar Outdoors — we’re welcoming our very first guest speaker, Taylor Davis! In this episode, we’re going From Jobsite to Treestand and talking all things deer season. Taylor joins us around the campfire as we talk about getting ready for the upcoming season, hunting experiences, gear, preparation, and what keeps us coming back to the woods year after year. But like always, it’s not just about hunting. We kick things off with our Campfire Check-In, get into some real blue-collar stories from the jobsite, and then sit down with Taylor for our Main Feature as we dive into everything that goes into preparing for deer season. We’ll talk scouting, gear, getting your mind right, lessons learned in the woods, and the excitement that comes with another hunting season just around the corner. And of course, we’ll wrap things up Around the Campfire with some good conversation, laughs, family, and the outdoors. In this episode:

Welcome back to Blue Collar Outdoors.

In Episode 2, we’re loading up and heading west to relive our recent trip to Idaho—talking fishing, road miles, campfires, and everything that comes with getting away from the job site for a few days.

We get into chasing fish in some incredible water, stories from the river, what worked (and what didn’t), and the moments in between that make trips like this worth remembering. Along the way we talk blue-collar life, balancing work and family, why getting outdoors matters, and how these trips help reset after the daily grind.

Expect fishing stories, laughs, gear talk, campfire reflections, and a little appreciation for the places and people that keep us coming back.

If you enjoy blue-collar life, fishing, hunting, family, sports, and real conversations—this podcast is for you.
