What does it take to turn a side hustle into one of the fastest-growing camper van manufacturers in the country?

In this episode, Grant McCrabb shares how he and his cousin started flipping used camper vans during the post-pandemic outdoor boom before launching GeoTrek Vans, a direct-to-consumer manufacturer disrupting the RV industry through better quality, smarter engineering, and a customer-first approach.

Grant also shares the lessons he’s learned from scaling rapidly, competing in ultra-endurance races, and overcoming one of the most pivotal moments of his life after his father’s skiing accident.

This conversation is about resilience, calculated risk, leadership, endurance, and why sometimes the best advice is simply to go for it.

What you’ll learn:

• How GeoTrek Vans grew from a side hustle into a manufacturing company

• Why endurance sports mirror entrepreneurship

• The importance of hiring people smarter than yourself

• How resilience shapes long-term success

• Why aspiring entrepreneurs should stop waiting and start building
