In this no-BS episode of Dropping Bombs, I sit down with Bronx-born builder and battle-tested entrepreneur Brian Abbey, a man whose life story reads like a blueprint for grit, failure, and redemption. From emancipating himself at 15 and becoming a father at 18, to scaling a general contracting company to $48M before losing it all in one signature — Brian brings the raw truth behind success, loss, and ultimate ownership.

 

Brad and Brian dig into what really went wrong, the hard lesson in fractional lending, and why personal accountability is the key to rebuilding stronger. They also unpack Brian’s book “You Are the Choices You Make”, his take on modern construction management, and why most general contractors are doing it all wrong. If you're an entrepreneur, builder, or someone who’s been knocked down and needs a playbook for getting back up — this one’s for you.
