    Back By Popular Demand

    Corey Maker’s appearance during Season 1 of Beyond The Moon wasn’t enough to hold all his great stories. After it aired, he had hundreds of people reach out asking why he didn’t share “this” story or “that” story. Well…in this episode he does. What kind of stories you ask? Oddly interesting ones, of course—like in what remote location would a grizzly bear delay a flight or how small must a town be where the only place to have a work presentation was at a bar and the only way to share slides was by projecting onto the back of a beer sign. Here that and more from Corey Maker, Manager Of Product Management for Subsite, during his second appearance on Beyond The Moon. Send us a text

    A Job That Does And Doesn’t Suck. Pun Intended.

    BJ Tucker has been Ditch Witch thru-and-thru for over 31 years. For the past five, he’s been configuring Vacuum Excavators every way imaginable. And as Supervisor in this department, he manages to tackle one of the most challenging production “lines” in the industry. The reason? It’s not a line at all.  In this episode, find out how he does it and how he gets 45 people working together to create Ditch Witch’s most customizable machines. You also hear how this man apparently loves chaos outside of office, too, as he travels the country with a daughter who plays for the first team ever from Oklahoma to win the Little League Softball World Series. And if that’s not enough, BJ has plans to help coach the local high school softball team, too. Geesh…if you’re not worn out just reading this, you will be after listening to this episode of Beyond The Moon. Send us a text

    "Gear" Up For Another Great Episode

    On this episode of Beyond The Moon, we switch gears (no pun intended) and hear from Emily Green, the self-proclaimed SWAG lady who runs our corporate merchandise store.  Emily shares insights on what makes Ditch Witch gear some of the industry’s most popular, how she chooses which items to sell, and which items always seem to be the most popular. She also shares an endearing story about the first time she met our founder, Ed Malzahn, and mistook him for an older man who got lost from his tour group. If you ever knew Ed, this story goes exactly how you think it would 🙂. Send us a text

    Around The World And The Clock

    What’s it like to be in charge of service and support for a company that sells around the world? Well, for Brad Xanders, it means also being available to help 24/7. Literally. As Manager of Customer Service & Support for Subsite, Brad runs a department of four who all are on standby to help customers whenever they need it. 2:30 am? Yep. Sunday during the big football game? Yep. The world doesn’t stop, and neither do these guys.  As you might guess, you got to love it to be in this biz. But Brad has always been a guy who is all in, like when he joined the Navy out of high school and was part of a submarine tender team that worked on nuclear submarines. Yikes! Here all about it, plus other fun stories that make up this entertaining episode of Beyond The Moon. Send us a text

    He’s As “Field-Tested” As Our Equipment

    John English is an International Corporate Accounts Manager for Ditch Witch, stationed in Barcelona, who helps global rental companies get the most out of their Ditch Witch equipment. But to stop right there would do a disservice to all that he shares in this wildly entertaining episode. Hear some of the stories about where the travels of the job takes him, how he ended up becoming the comedic Emcee for major events in his area and how, at 47 years old, he’s still performing on the field that really matters over in Europe—the football field.

    And Down The Stretch He Comes!

    Ditch Witch is just some of what Kevin Knuckley does. Hear how his family got into the dealership business—being one of the first Ditch Witch dealerships ever—and how, as part of the third generation to run Witch Equipment Co, he didn’t just start at the top, but had to work his way up from the very bottom.  Maybe even more exciting, Kevin shares how he’s deep into the thoroughbred racing industry. And like every great racehorse story, his family was “oh, so close” to buying a future Kentucky Derby winner. Find out which one they missed out on and how thrilling, and gut-wrenching, thoroughbred racing can be.   Plus, the two burning questions: How the heck does this family keep their dealership thriving year after year? And will there be a 4th generation to take over Witch Equipment Co? Send us a text
