Not only should honesty be a policy, it should be a lifestyle as well!A lesson Nick taught Kyle a few years ago when it came to running a business is that honesty is the best policy. When Kyle spoke to Nick about a project and the issues he was running into, Nick called out the BS. Honesty has since turned into a lifestyle for not only Nick but Kyle.

When it comes to landscaping and bulk material dispensing with the MulchMate, Nick is the KING without a doubt.

Why I built it the way I built it! (Part 1)Nick and Kyle dive into why Dawson Manufacturing was built the way it is and how. We talk about the layout out the company mainly in this episode. There is a flow in the building that keeps the parts hot, or simply put, keeps parts in motion. Resting parts cost money, time and lead to mistakes. The way things work is parts come in and go one of two places; Fabrication to be welded then the powder booth, or straight to the powder coating booth. From there parts go to assembly to be created and head out the door. 2024-05-0653 minLife in the FastlaneLife in the Fastlane083.
