Every day you stripe is an opportunity to learn better methods- this episode has some ideas to speed that up! Six ideas for small mistakes you can avoid in a parking lot, which should be helpful if you are newer to Stripe Life. After that, we chat with Ryley Newman - my commercial insurance executive - to discuss some things you should know about insurance, insurance agents and brokers, and what to watch for as your business changes.

The world's best produced line painting podcast returns for some chatting with Nigel Baxter of EverLine Coatings! Some minor housekeeping is in order about the contest and some things coming up on the social media you can be a part of (2 Minute Striping Smackdown needs a name improvement). Then, we chat with a great dude, Nigel Baxter, who is the EverLine franchisee of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan-  yes, that is how you spell it - to discuss EverLine, line striping and facial hair.

It's not fun recording an episode about a bleak topic... but it must be done. I sit down for a chat with Ryan Vodicka (AKA Bunky Vodicka), a 21 year veteran with Aexcel Paint who currently serves as their National Sales Manager. He has tremendous insight into the situation involving price increases and availability of traffic paint, which stems back to early 2020. He offers his insight as to what is driving the price increases, some clarity on the situation of freezing in Texas (which has caused a lot of complications), and what his recommendations are for contractors looking to get through what will already be a massive 2021 year for demand in the striping industry. 

Big thanks to Bunky for coming on at the last minute to discuss it!

Two big things are talked about today - Texas and Lewis Vandervalk. (Seriously, he's tall.) When Texas got hit by a major deep freeze in February, it caused a lot of infrastructure havoc in the state - and the paint industry is not immune. We discuss briefly what we know so far about the impact of the freezing temperatures in that state on paint manufacturing, and some advice for your striping business to navigate a potential supply shortage in 2021. And then, we chat with Lewis Vandervalk, owner of Blue Crocus Solutions, and he talks about some ways to improve your website, SEO and Google Business listing, and how his company helps contractors in this area improve their lead generation from those mediums. Thanks for listening, pod squad!

Hey! You! Why do you paint roads and parking lots? In Episode 2, we dive in to that question with answers from Facebook - and as a special treat, we get to hear directly from some people all around the WORLD on why they got started. We also interview 2 gentlemen from New York and New Jersey to see why they got into line striping while still having very full time careers in their existing field of work.
