Janis Lasmanis from Corsair detailing started bodyguarding when he moved here to the states and in between he'd detail cars.  Deciding to move instead of closing his location he kept it open with a manager running it and opened a location in his new town.  Janis has figured out a way to get dealerships to send him work to help keep his 3 locations running.

Living up to the "laziest podcast" I wanted to do something different and that would take a little effort from me. I invited whoever wanted to come on and we'd do a true WOYM and let anyone ask questions or just say what they wanted.  I had fun with the guys who joined Tommy Davis, Thad Sullivan. Michael Hine, Manny Cruzado and Jason Cavallo. Hopefully we'll do this again and give listeners to come on a talk about What's on Your Mind.

It has been a LOOOOOONG time since I've had a bad ass lady detailer on, and Sarah from Rupes was a great way to get to get it restarted.  Sarah has so much passion for detailing it definitely comes through when you talk to her.  She took the chance and just asked for a job with Rupes and they said "Yes' and now she does probably more than she bargained for.  We also talked about our want to know more on the science side of how things work and how detailing is more than just up and down and back and forth until the swirls are gone. You can reach out to Sarah on Facebook at Sarah Colman or on instagram at @sarahcl.rupes

When most people think of Branding, they think of cowboys or ranchers branding cattle.  While having a great logo is a business's most visible branding there's more to it than that.  Dave Christian has designed many a logo for the detailing industry including our very own and totally awesome podcast logo.  Dave dives a little more in depth with how important branding is and how it goes farther than just a logo. You can contact Dave by email at [email protected]

This is our first product spotlight episode that we hope will become our YouTube series.  With these spotlight episodes we will bring on different detailing companies and give them the platform to discuss their brand and products including the right and wrong way they're being used.  For our first episode we invited Marty and Nick from hyperCLEAN whom you all know have been a loyal sponsor for a year now.  Marty tells us how he started hyperCLEAN and Nick explains what drove him to want to be a part of it.  They highlight some of they're popular products and on the YouTube channel you can watch videos of the products in action.

Brandon Johnson reached out to me a few weeks before MTE because David Fermani suggested he reach out and come on the podcast.  At first I thought he was ok but came off a little too much, then we met at MTE and i couldn't have been more wrong.  Brandon ended up being super cool and we had some great times talking over the weekend.  Brandon has probably one of the coolest shops I've ever seen and he's constantly pushing himself to make it perfect.  Brando talks about his start at a small used car dealership to detailing planes at night.  He talks about how he wrenched on his own McLaren and how that will help him grow his Motorsports side of his business.
