One Year Down, A Legacy to Go Ft. Jake and Steve

Welcome to a brand new episode of the Epoxy Business Podcast. Today your hosts, Steve Larosiliere and Jake Latvala, sit down together to talk about a momentous occasion. It’s the one-year anniversary of Ol Loggin Epoxy!

Although the actual Ol Loggin Epoxy product didn’t launch until July of 2021, Jake and Steve became business partners one year ago today. They started the process of their partnership agreement in January of 2021, and much of the time spent was working on agreement details and going through the process of finding the right partner in Lab Surface.

Building a partnership takes time, trust, and a willingness to collaborate and communicate. However, establishing an official business partnership involves many more agreements than people may be aware of. Check out this episode to learn the ins and outs of building a collaborative business and all the steps that go into it!

“What we did last year is we’ve created quite a community. I think we did a pretty good job of recruiting a team, and if you look at our posts or our webpage, we’re getting tagged all over the place.

What I love the most is going to forums where you people ask, ‘What’s your go-to epoxy?’ I see more and more Ol Loggin Epoxy on those forums. I think that’s one of our greatest accomplishments so far, and it’s just the beginning.”

Despite only being in business for a year now, Jake and Steve have reached the point where they are making a significant amount of money in product sales. However, on top of Ol Loggin Epoxy, Jake and Steve each have their own businesses going on. Steve runs the marketing agency Acres of Timber, and Jake has a dried lumber, kiln, and tables company called Ol Loggin Sawmill.
