In this episode, Aaron is on his own to bring you another book report. He’s picking up where he left off in the Persistence Creates Opportunity: Building America for 50 Years, a book made for Ames Construction that periodically details their history. 

In this episode, Aaron reads from the 1960s to the 1980s, which was a pivotal time in the history of Ames. They talk about the changing business and personal life of Dick Ames and some of the most important contracts that the company ever won. To learn more, stay tuned for this week's book report. 


**UPDATE**
Dirt Talk officially has its first partnership, and we are excited to announce that it's with none other than Ariat. Here at BuildWitt, the consensus is that Ariat is great! They make durable and comfortable boots and workwear, which are essential to any career in the dirt world. Listeners of Dirt Talk can get 10% off their first order by clicking here or visiting Ariat.com/dirttalk.
