Apps & Asphalt
Hello! We are Zach and Hayden, and welcome to the Apps & Asphalt podcast! Our backgrounds are in construction & technology, and our goal is to help Raise the Standard of the contracting industry! By sharing our experiences of success & failure, and by interviewing up & coming industry leaders, we hope to guide our fellow contractors so they can elevate their business too. We also hope to help bring awareness of the potential of the contracting space to the next generation, and we hope to make you laugh too! Follow our A&A Podcast on Instagram @appsandasphalt, our Paving Company NPP @nationalpavementpartners, and our Mobile App Company SOS @spotonsite. Now, Let's Hit The Pavement!
