Happy Friday everyone!!

Hope each and every one of you Listen Localers had a fantastic week, and are ready for the best weekend weather we've had yet in 2022!

On this episode the LL Guys (well at least Isaiah and Jacob) get to know more about some local business owners and employees. Also, due to Colton's absence there was a co-hosting seat available, which was wonderfully filled by our friend and Branch Manager of the Baxter Refined Lending, John Kinkeade (who just happens to be Jacob's current lender for his new house). Not only does John find a way to make talking about mortgages and lending entertaining, he's also just a likeable guy and totally fits the bill of being a true Listen Localer!

Now to the guests, First up... we had our buddy Justin Olson call into the show again. This time though, Justin wasn't talking about snowmobiling or the Nisswa 100, instead he put his Nisswa Marine hat on and gave us an update on the ice situation we're still seeing on lakes around the Brainerd Lakes Area. So listen in to find out when he thinks the ice will be out. And Yes, we're going to hold Justin accountable if it isn't out by then

The next guest we had stop by the office was Emma Krueger, owner of the Nisswa A&W! When you talk about a staple in the BLA, we all know thats exactly what the Nisswa A&W is. Annnnd... true locals know May 1st means much more than May Day, it is also opening day for said A&W. With that being said, GO GET YOUR ROOTBEER FLOATS TODAY!

After Emma, we welcomed in Nate Hill from Hill's Mobile Detailing. Not only does Nate already have a great detailing business, he is also a weekly listener to the podcast, which is definitely a plus if you ask us What he's doing with Hills Mobile Detailing is super cool. He will come to you. Whether that's at your house, place of work, or really anywhere, he'll bring his trailer to wherever you are and make sure your vehicle has one of the best it's ever had! This spring has already been super messy, so give Nate a call and have him come make your car look brand new!!

Before we end, Isaiah and Jacob chat with John a bit more (mostly about what Jacob can and can't buy before the closing of his house), and discuss what the best part of summer is. While we switched up the format of our show a little bit this time, we plan on having Listen Local do more of these "Business Update" episodes - or what ever we decide to call them - once a month. We'll bring 3-4 local business owners and/or Managers to give us an update on their businesses.

As always thanks again to our sponsor Tyler Gardner with Pequot Lakes and Gull Lake Sanitation.
