Every two weeks, Marvin sits down with the people who keep the asphalt industry moving—contractors, innovators, business owners, and the voices shaping what’s next. These aren’t polished corporate interviews. They’re real conversations about the challenges, wins, and lessons learned on the job.
Whether you’re running crews, managing projects, or building a business in this industry, you’ll find something here that resonates. We talk about what works, what doesn’t, and what it really takes to succeed in asphalt.
Marvin didn’t start as a podcaster—he started on the pavement.
As the owner of two asphalt contracting businesses in Wisconsin and Iowa, Marvin has spent years running crews, managing projects, and dealing with the same challenges every contractor faces. Marvin took that hands-on experience into his first industry podcast, Blacktop Banter, which reached contractors in over 50 countries with over 70,000 monthly listeners.
Today, Marvin is a recognized voice in the industry as a speaker, writer, and advocate for the people doing the work. He believes in real conversations, honest insights, and the idea that nice guys can finish first.
