People want to work for a growing company. If you're reinvesting in a growing industry, you're going to grow as a company. And growth creates opportunities for people. If if a company is in an industry that's flat and it's not growing, you really got to wait for somebody to retire or for for opportunities to come. But we've always been able to provide that.
And our mission statement starts with To prov ISCO exists because to provide long-term opportunities for members of the ISCO team. And the only way to do that is growth. You know that old saying, a rising tide lists all boats? Well, this week we're talking about what it takes to raise that tide.

Today I'm sitting down with my good friend Jimmy Kirstorfer, the chairman and CEO of ISCO Industries. I gotta tell you, I love the ISCO story. They started out as a small Gulf irrigation supplier, but they dreamed bigger, and they expanded into HDPE pipes for sewers and water lines and all kinds of infrastructure projects.
