Steve happy Monday happy Monday to you math. How's it going? It's going good man. It's spring

I'm just excited that there's decent weather again. Yeah absolutely now it's in camping doing some turkey hunting here just excited

Yeah

So in this Monday minute we just wanted to actually talk about X-hole a little bit

Which isn't something we do a ton and that's a good thing from the podcast perspective. It's fun to see reviews and go

Yeah, like the guys that run this podcast are from exo-mount gear

But it's not big commercial and that's something that truly we value and appreciate but

We have some new stuff coming and we so we just wanted to begin to talk about that a little bit and then at the same time a question

That's come up a lot just because

Steve, I don't think we've talked necessarily about

The background of us or the background of exo maybe since episode one and so if you think about the number of episodes in between there and then the number of new listeners

A lot of guys might not fully have a good picture for who we are what we do and all that so we're gonna get into that a little bit

Yeah, so let's do it

The background of X-hole Mount gear is pretty interesting in the sense that

You as one of the co-founders didn't set out to

Start a company to start a company so like why did exo come into existence?

Yeah, so it was Lenny Nelson and I just you know

Had met actually met at a trade show I was running a booth for SNS archery and ran into this dude

And we just kind of started chatting and talking about

Honey and found out we both like we're mountain bike racing and we had a bunch of stuff in common long long story short

We ended up hunting together that year because we were both

Backpacking solo it couldn't find anybody, you know stupid enough to do that with us
