Russell Shepard making more after NFL career

Russell Shepard cleans up after NFL
“Meet Russell Shepard. Former NFL wide receiver who's now running a porta-potty business.
Year 2 he made $1M? (more than ever in the NFL)
It started when he played for the Giants. He noticed the city filled with trash at night. By morning? All gone. He knew someone was making bank on all that waste.
So with his NFL earnings, Russell bought:
- A vacuum truck with a 2,000-gallon tank
- 125 portable toilets
- 50 hand wash stations
- 20 holding tanks
- Some nearby land
His first few months of recurring revenue:
- Month 1-2: $6k
- Month 2-3: $12k
- Month 3-4: $18k
By year 2 they'd hit $1M in revenue. Now multi-millions.
How it grew so fast? reviews and referrals.
His company Shep Boys manages waste from construction sites to disaster zones. Simple model, recurring revenue, commercial contracts.
I will say - I've never been so close to throwing up when visiting a small business before.
But Russell doesn't care what it smells like. He cares what it pays.”

Smart man. Seems like he's made the most out of every opportunity given.

I had a class with him and this dude was the nicest most humble big time athlete I’ve ever run into.

Always liked and pulled for Shep. Wish he could have had anyone other than what he had, calling creative plays for him.

Somebody needs to hook him up with Mike Rowe for a podcast episode.

This has been known for almost a decade now.

Still good to give him some publicity for his business.

Let him play QB Les!

So less than 6 years is almost a decade? I guess you thought that would make you sound cool.

Ahh reminds me of the good old days arguing over whether or not he was going to play qb here….

His business stinks, but it’s picking up!
I always thought that tag line from river parish disposal was money

Always liked Shep. Always wished he would have gotten a shot at QB

From my understanding, Mike Evans is a partner of his
