#102: Scaling Mountains with Spider Excavators - Arnaud Hild
About this episode
This week, we welcome Arnaud Hild, Co-Owner of NPA Specialty Equipment, a badass company crushing it in the specialty equipment game (check them out at npaspecialtyequipment.com). Arnaud, alongside his business partners Nico and Pierre, is bringing serious value to the dirt world, and as a happy client of Phaser Marketing, he’s got the digital presence to prove it! Luke and Arnaud will dig deep into what makes NPA Specialty Equipment stand out, from their hands-on approach to their game-changing gear. No corporate fluff here—just real talk from two dirt bags who get it.
Plus, we’re shouting out Jon and Morgan VanZee from 641 Excavating, the lucky winners of our $500 cash giveaway! And a massive thank you to our growing crew—Dirt Bags Podcast just hit 400 YouTube subscribers!
