“My father founded the business 40 years ago, and so part of the episodes kind of about the transition into the new generation,” says Williams.

Williams claims that the production company contacted him about appearing on the show months ago, but the offer seemed almost too good to be true.

“First I thought it was like you know too good to be true, kind of like a scam,” says Williams, “Like I kind of ignored it because I didn’t believe it, and then my marketing guy reached out to me is like, hey, this thing’s real.”

For a few days, the video team documented their daily routines at work, including a tour of the new facility.

“They have a project they’re working on, I guess it’s called the One and Only,” says Executive producer, Spencer Brown, “It’s a huge lodge, We want to show the beauty that you can go on job sites and see mountains and streams and just the quality of life of the job.”
