In this wild and unexpectedly legendary episode of The Safety Meeting, we’re joined in the Whiskey Lounge by our neighbor and business owner John Arundel (ACON Powder Process & Convey Group) — and the man, the myth, the absolute icon…

🛼 Scott Olson — the inventor behind Rollerblade.

Yep. That Rollerblade.

Scott takes us deep into the origin story of inline skating, how Rollerblade exploded into a worldwide phenomenon, and the insane entrepreneurial ride that followed — including roller hockey road trips, prototype inventions, business lessons learned the hard way, and the kind of creativity you just don’t see every day.

And of course… things take a turn into absolute chaos when we get into:
🏓 Kong Pong (ping pong… but on steroids)
🚴 SkyRide (a human-powered roller coaster concept that ended up on Carnival Cruise Lines!)
🎸 John’s music project “Jomber” (yes, he’s got albums on Spotify)
🦮 plus a surprise guest appearance from Willard the dog

This episode is packed with laughs, innovation, business grit, and the reminder that sometimes the craziest ideas are the ones that change the world.

For God’s sake, you must always have a safety meeting. 🍻
We start by picking a bottle, then it turns into a full ride: Jasmine earns her multi-engine rating, we roast Spirit Airlines, break down a 168” bow buck in the Driftless, and somehow end up judging everyone’s shoes.

Episode 5 of The Safety Meeting starts exactly how you’d expect… with a live chicken on the podcast table 🐔 — and then goes places we didn’t expect.

We introduce Construction Chicken CC, talk job sites, hunting stories, heavy equipment, and lake projects — but we also get real about why this episode took so long to come out. After a serious four-wheeler accident that nearly changed everything, we take a moment to talk about gratitude, recovery, and what actually matters.

Six blown tires, one bar fight, and a whole lot of bad decisions. The crew’s back with their wildest ‘Safety Meeting’ yet — from whiskey-fueled chaos to road-trip disasters, nothing (and no one) makes it out unscathed.

In the inaugural episode of The Safety Meeting, Charles, Nick, Teddy, and Chris explain the who, what, where and why of the show and immediately go off the rails. They introduce themselves, talk about life in the trades, their adventures, and tell the unbelievable (but true) story of launching a bus and an S-10 truck off a cliff.

Along the way, they talk business, family, crypto tips (bad ones), bull riding, and what a “safety meeting” really means. Oh, and yes, there’s footage of the bus flying off the cliff.

Grab a drink, settle in, and meet the crew before the accident report gets written.

Welcome to The Safety Meeting: the meeting before the accident report.
