Making money in government contracting is achievable for almost anyone.
Keeping it? That's where most people fall apart.
I sat down with Geoff Cole β a GovCon veteran since 2015 β and we got into the real side of this business. Contracts lost during low performance. Lawsuits. Managing restaurants alongside government work. Legal representation across multiple states.
We also talked about the 8(a) program, bonding capacity, lines of credit, and why the "easiest" contracts often come with the thinnest margins.
And his next move? Building an Expedia for government contracts.
This one is raw and real. Full episode coming soon.

Federal or state contracts β how different are they, really? π€
Turns out, they play by two very different sets of rules. Here's the breakdown:
π Where to look β SAM.gov covers every federal opportunity nationwide. States each run their own procurement portal, so you register separately per state.
π Competition β Federal contracts draw bidders from across the country. State/local opportunities often see far fewer bidders per posting.
π Size & speed β Federal contracts tend to be larger but move slower (6-12+ months). State/local contracts are usually smaller but can award in weeks.
π Certifications β Federal has 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB. States often run their own MBE/WBE/DBE programs on top of that.
Same goal β very different playing fields.

Before you register, make sure you're choosing strategicallyβnot just picking the first code that sounds right.
