  • 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.
    If you want to learn more about Jimmy, listen to the following Dirt Talk Podcast episodes or follow him on Instagram @starbuckexcavation

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