    5:06 – growing up, you could get yourself in as much trouble as you wanted to

    8:57 – what can I get away with before my mom would get mad at me for spending money on something I probably didn’t need?

    15:38 – offroading was like freedom, you were away from the road, no street signs or anyone telling you what to do

    31:28 – At the end of my career, I had been there for 20 years, and I was overseeing all the truck and off-road magazines when they decided to dissolve that part of the business

    40:32 – The romanticism of off-roading started for me in the magazine; the problem is we used to be influencers before there were influencers

    53:35 – My favorite is the Raptor story, it goes back to 2007, starting with “how did you know?”

    2:45 – this area of Louisiana is all about hunting, fishing, and family

    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.
