Building a Business, Building People: Dillard Cosby on Ten Arrows, Community, and Ribs & Rods for Gu
Pastor Dustin hosts Out of the Box Church podcast with guest Dillard Cosby, owner of Ten Arrows Contracting and Septic Near Me, discussing his commitment to keeping his business rooted in Blanchard, his company’s rapid growth from three employees to nearly 30, and a focus on hiring for character while developing people. Dillard shares humble beginnings hustling for work, adding roofing to cover slow winters, and purchasing and rebranding Septic Near Me to offer more turnkey services. They highlight Dillard’s sponsorship of the Ribs & Rods event on June 27 (10:00–2:00) at 424 N Main St, Blanchard, with ribs, cars, vendors, and proceeds funding Guatemala mission work that supports rural pastors through a conference and food baskets.
