2:45 – this area of Louisiana is all about hunting, fishing, and family
9:14 – my parents were great about not forcing me into the business – y’all go make an education, get a college degree, and decide your own career path
24:27 – I learned two things doing the competitive side of rockcrawling: 1. It is a lot of work, and two, it’s hard to be competitive if you don’t have the seat time
34:54 – the way my dad worded it 40 years ago, if he built a lift kit, he wanted to feel like he could hand his daughter the keys and her go drive it, knowing she’d be safe
42:20 – We started working with Willy long before Duck Dynasty
54:15 – we focused on the marking side for many years, but we feel like we need to focus more on the manufacturing side for the next few years.
58:04 – let’s talk about family
