Hey guys, welcome to episode number 256 of the Industrial Strength Show.

Most of you probably don't realize this because quite frankly, I didn't realize this up until a few days ago, but today's episode is a pretty special

one because this week's episode marks the official five year anniversary of this podcast.

I actually had to go back and double check the dates because, I don't't know to me it doesn't feel like five years at all I don't

know where the time has gone plus I don't know podcasting still feels relatively new to me I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing but

fact remains when I when I check the dates turns out

episode number one of the industrial the and here we are on March 5th, 2020, 256 episodes later and still going strong. And like I I said it still feels relatively new to me so I feel like we're just getting started but I didn't want this show to go by without at least recognizing the first five years.

That is something I'm very proud of.

You know, there have been a lot of podcasts that have come and gone in those five years so to still be going strong and

feeling like we're just getting started and the best is yet to come and the

the steady growth and reach of this show.

I'm just excited and I wanted to take a moment to recognize that and really thank you guys

because without you and your support and feedback there is no industrial

strength show and I do mean that. Contrary to what what some people might, I do not do this show because I like hearing

myself talk. I record this show each week for you guys, not because I like the sound of my voice. And I record for you guys because of the feedback that I get each and every day. A day doesn't go by without me hearing from someone telling me how

much they look forward to the show, how much the show has helped them get through a tough time or how much they've learned from the show,

how they've learned from the show,

how they've gotten in the best shape of their life

from the content that we've provided on this show. It's just like all that type of stuff is like my oxygen. Like I live off of it. I thrive on it. I that's that's where I get my drive my passion from so if you guys keep

listening and keep sharing your feedback and sharing the show helping grow this thing I will keep

providing you with the the best most informative and entertaining content that I know how so you keep listening and I promise the next five years will be even better than the first

And I humbly say I thought the first five years were pretty damn good.
