  • Jimmy Starbuck went to university for three months to study political science but quickly dropped out to make soap. Yes, soap.
    After a fight with the boss's son, he quit to give driving "diggers," as the Australians say, a shot.
    He bought his first machine three weeks later, a 2.5-tonne mini-excavator. How'd he afford it? With a car loan…
    Fast-forward fifteen years, and Jimmy's company, Starbuck Excavation, has a large fleet of earthmoving machines and runs over 100 trucks daily around Melbourne.
    I spent the day with him, driving around to various projects to get a feel for his glamorous lifestyle. We also visited his office and new yard.

    I'm not very patriotic as an Australian but this was 100% Australia. If someone is giving you shit it means they like you.
