Kris love, of Love's Asphalt Solutions, and I have been trying to get together for the podcast ever since I started it, and we were able to connect for a brief moment in the midst of all the chaos to get a breakdown of how they got started, where they are going, winning awards and when we are going to get together for real, to drink some whiskey. Be safe. -Marvin
My good friend Mark Estrada, aka Captn Striper, of Marathon Solutions Group, joins me on the podcast to talk about how they got into the game. He takes us on a couple really good stories, gives advice to beginners and talks about Legacy. If you want a peek into what goes into making Mark, his business partner, and their whole team tick...this is a good one for you to send into your ear. Thanks as always. -Marvin

I'm not sure if Chris Smith knew, when he asked to be on the podcast, that I would jump at the opportunity. He may have been watching me on YouTube for awhile, but i've been watching their Instagram for awhile and these guys are the real deal. You will love Chris's story about working with family and how they make it all work. Be sure to check them out on Instagram and thanks for listening. -Marvin
This episode we draw the first Giveaway winners name, I give a Wis-Coat rundown and I go over Networking in our industry. Networking for my business, and myself, has been a major "Level-Up" for me and I believe it can be for you too, if it hasn't already. I talk about places that networking can take place and does, no matter what level you are at, and the benefits of it. Hope you Enjoy, looking forward to bigger and better giveaways as well. -Marvin
Spurred from a question asked by @persythepianist on Instagram, Owner of Local Sealcoating, Dom Manzo and I talk about how we get on track and stay on track. We talk about Local Sealcoating and how Dom got his start in the game... from Firefighter to Entreprenuer, it's a good one. Then we transition to our personal techniques to get on track and stay on track, especially once we get a lead. Hope you enjoy the value Dom brought to the podcast and thanks for tuning in. -Marvin
This episode I discuss Whats up with my business, Wis-Coat, do some shout outs and talk a little in depth about people who try to bring us, as people and entrepreneurs, down. I talk about my own run in with a "Fake Account" this last week online, and how they are trying to stop momentum of what success the podcast is having. Hopefully you find it interesting and helpful, PEACE! -Marvin
We go over a question posed by a listener in Canada eh... "What kind of Sealer is the best in your expertise?" I'm far from an expert and that simple question is full of complexities. Therefore, I had no other choice but to ring up Kevin Allford from the Facebook Group, Asphalt Sealcoating Coalition (ASC) and we talk about our experiences with products we have used and how we prefer to apply them, with the pros and cons to both methods. Had a great time having Kevin on the show, and doing our fi...

This Podcast will cover the Asphalt and Asphalt Maintenance industry, mainly from the perspective of a small business owner, but hopefully with some different perspectives as well. It will cover old things about the industry, New things, Outside things and future topics. The topics hopefully will include techniques, tools, material and insight. Not to be taken too seriously though, I image the only people on the podcast who claim to be experts are the ones the audience chooses to be and your hos...
