Hey, everybody. Welcome back to another episode. This one kind of feels blacktop banter esque. But we're here. It's in the mix. We are probably. This one's being recorded. Q4. We're still striping a little bit. We're still crack filling a little bit. Snow hasn't flown yet where we're at. I'm in Nashville, obviously recording at the office, Wisconsin. I have packed up. Everything's winterized. I got spirits in the line, stripers like, everything's packed up. I ain't touching anything until the snow melts and the ground thaws in springtime. But what that does mean is it's conference season and of course you're going to see an uptick in what we do with social media on the new content and whatnot. And you know me, I'm constantly like, it's not that I'm like doom scrolling like on social, but I do want to see what everybody's doing. The algorithms pretty much just feed me what they think I'm interested in, which is always asphalt construction, line striping, you know, crack filling, all that stuff. And I've been getting fed probably at least once a week. When I open my for you page on TikTok, a profile from a gentleman named Hurley. And it was pretty easy to tell what he was doing because his name was Hurley the Striper on Tick Tock. And I seen a video that said Hurley the striper, but they were crack filling. And I was like, okay, now, now I want to get into it a little bit. So I want to introduce you all to Hurley Johnson at pm. Stripe, Hurley, Striper on Tick Tock. Man. Introduce yourself. Let us know where you're from.

This is very big for me because I don't want to really talk about me right now. But when I first started off, like, trying to look into this industry, you were one of the first ones on YouTube that I saw. So I don't know if you probably Remember this comment? And I tried going back. You got so many videos on YouTube. And I. And I try. And I reached out to you and I said, hey, Marvin, man, I would like to get to know you. You know what I'm saying? Like, have you as a mentor. It was. I think it was like, when I first started out, like, you know, and I know you probably get bombarded with messages and comments and stuff from people all the time, so I could probably understand why you, you know, you probably didn't respond at the time. But it's crazy, man, how it works in a full circle. Like, you know, here I am today, you know, with you on a. On a podcast. Yeah, I reached out to you back in like, 2000. I think it was like 2022 when I first started my company.
