June 14, 2024 094. What is Financial Freedom in your eyes? How do we achieve it?
Financial Freedom is something that is used very loosely in recent times. Yes, Financial Freedom is something that varies from person to person; Nicks Financial Freedom is completely different from Kyles because their purpose and definition is completely different. Your moral compass has a lot to do with the concept as well. You can't be free from something that you are still trying to chase. Once you determined your purpose and goals you can really dig into what financial freedom is for you.

June 12, 2024 093. Do the right thing, even if it is harder.
Many people in the current moment try to find the easy way out of things, whether that is cleaning up after oneself after dinner or simply cleaning up the work place at the end of the day to make sure the start of the new day is crisp and ready. Nick and Kyle talk about applications at Dawson recently such as replacing tarp Velcro versus using duck tap to put that tarp in. Taking the time to "cover your own a**" is crucial to discipline in the workspace and at home. When you do something don't skip a step, see it through from start to finish.

June 03, 2024 092. You first have to dig down before you can build up.
Like a building you have to create a strong foundation to support it. Nick and Kyle really believe in a moral compass heavily when it comes to not only your personal life but in business. There are a lot of people in business just for the money, but the strongest companies that weather economic storms and even more are the ones that are focused on the people. The only way to find your moral compass is to dig deep within to understand how you want to be as a person. Once you figure out yourself you can apply these morals to your business.

May 29, 2024 090. State of the Union Dawson Manufacturing and some testimonials of Machines!
Nick and Kyle dive into a little state of the union as to the health of the company with this silent "recession" appears on the horizon. Nick in the beginning of the year was concerned about what would happen but through experience of whethering the storm of 2008, he had an idea of what to do to come out on the other end better. Nick and Kyle also discuss some testimonials of products as we have had some crazy data produce with minimal labor. 25 yards of mulch in 3 hours, 10 yards of mulch in two hours with the MulchMate and some crazy numbers with the TruckMate HD as we have had time to test that as well!

May 22, 2024 089. Results Matter, everything else is just fluff.
We always say that its about the little wins that make you 1% better. People tend to quit when things become monotonous and that is when you should dig in deeper to master the craft so that you can't mess up. Micheal Jordan always started his warmups with chest a passes, then went through his sequence. The consistency of those chest passes and urge to become the best is when led to Micheal being the BEST in the league without a doubt. We take the same approach at Dawson. Kyle with powder coating, it becomes monotonous but he know that once he masters it, he can then become the teacher for it one day and help take over new roles to push Dawson to a new level. Nick with the MulchMate DS1000. This machine is THE BEST without a doubt when it comes to bulk material distribution. There are a few things we want to master with it then we move to other machines and ideas!

Focus on the results they will arrive but enjoy the journey in the process.

May 17, 2024 088. Cocky vs Confidence, Nick you are so eccentric!!
Many people when they see someone that is experiencing the success they wish they had, it is very easy to see that individual as cocky when in reality most people are just confident. When it comes to landscaping and bulk material dispensing with the MulchMate, Nick is the KING without a doubt. He comes off as cocky to some because of their perspective and exposure YouTube doesn't always give the best light because of how you try to entertain people same with Instagram which if you haven't already FOLLOW US we greatly appreciate it! Once you get to know him, he isn't the one tooting his own horn the MulchMate is for him, the testimonials of thousands of units in the field are as well.

May 15, 2024 087. Nick and Kyle disagree on curiosity?!
Nick and Kyle talk about a line from a recent podcast listen, "The more you use curiosity, the more you will be curious". Curiosity is like a muscle the less you use it the more it atrophies away. Now, there is a saying that Nick sides with, "Curiosity kills the cat". By his stories, we can see why Nick feels as if curiosity can lead to problems. However, his risk calculation of that curiosity was misled by peer pressure. With proper risk calculation we can see what curiosity can lead too. Take the MulchMate for example, with curiosity of how to make himself better the best machine for bulk material dispensing was created!

May 10, 2024 086. Why I built it the way I built It! (Part 3)
A short little banger between Nick and Kyle about the products and their release. Lets take a look at Tesla for a second. When they released the first car, it was the most decked out luxury electric car on the market. The most recent released model is the model 3 the cheapest most base model they offer. Playing human phycology for a moment, we released our most capable product to market first and slowly creeped down on price so that we can introduce our clients to the MulchMate way. Guys who can't afford a MulchMate can afford the KartMate, SnowMate.

May 08, 2024 085. Why I built it the way I built it! (Part 2)
Nick and Kyle sit down and discuss the comparisons from out products to the nearest related products on the market. The MulchMule is the closest relative to the MulchMate and even at one point tried to sell the product to Nick. The capacity that MulchMate can handle between with the materials thrown at it and the ability to go on any truck on the market makes the MulchMate the ideal choice. After the worldwide pandemic MulchMate now is released on trailer platforms as well the DMT.

We also discuss small things introduced in our products such as the TruckMate and its features as well as TruckMate HD
