Oh, the stories they will tell. The boys head up to Maine to talk with Evan and Mike Levesque of Dan Davis Sales, a manufacturer's rep in the Northeast since 1976. A third-generation business, the brothers rely on relationships as the cornerstone of their success. They share stories of their grandfather—founder of the business—and working with their dad.

They answer that, and talk about changes in the rep industry, supply chain issues, and how they choose their select lines—which complement the entire hydronic system—for the business.
