A few weeks ago, Matthew Nowlin and Shawn Graham interviewed Isaac Botkin on the Faith in Action radio show.
Hopefully you have better things to do this Christmas than listen to podcasts, but here is that conversation, going from T.Rex's early goals to developments in the gun culture, but also spending a lot of time on plugging into community and building community.

0:05.1 | sad and incomplete. I think what you do is very Christian. But we don't have, let's get the, |
0:11.8 | let's get the dinosaur in the room out of the way. We don't have many dinosaur-related |
0:16.9 | conversations on the show. What does T-Rex do? So T-Rex Arms, the name is a little bit of a joke. |
0:24.1 | We specialize in small arms, so T-R-R-X Arms is a great name for a company that does that. |
0:29.4 | And it kind of depends on who you ask. In fact, we love to ask people, T-R-X customers or others, |

1:16.1 | particular silo has allowed us to employ more people and do more things and grow in more areas |
1:22.6 | as a company. So I have a soft spot for the engineering and manufacturing side. Plus, it's just cool. |
1:29.0 | Is that in your background engineering? |
