# 158 What It Really Takes to Build a Business | Entrepreneurship with Dave Kaminski
Sat Jan 31 2026
In this episode, I sit down with Dave Kaminski, founder and owner of Roaming Restrooms, to talk about what it really takes to build a business from the ground up — and why success almost never looks the way you expect it to when you’re starting out.
Dave shares how Roaming Restrooms began as an idea and evolved into a full-scale business focused on solving a very real problem: the lack of clean, upscale, on-site restroom options for weddings, festivals, and large events. We talk about identifying a niche, building something that goes far beyond a side hustle, and staying committed to a long-term vision even when the path forward isn’t clear.
This conversation dives into the realities of entrepreneurship — the learning curve, the financial and mental pressure, the wins, the setbacks, and the patience required to keep moving forward. Dave breaks down what it’s like to build a service-based business, create systems as you go, and remain mission-driven while navigating the ups and downs that come with ownership.
Topics covered include entrepreneurship, small business growth, startup mindset, scaling a service business, identifying market needs, and playing the long game as a business owner.
If you’re thinking about starting a business, growing beyond a side hustle, or just want an honest look at what entrepreneurship actually looks like day to day, this episode offers real insight from someone living it.
