Business Visit: Odyssey, Formerly Known as Octochem

We toured Odyssey’s facility and spent time on the floor with Mark Langston and his daughter Mercedes Langston. Odyssey specializes in safely transporting and managing chemicals, ensuring every shipment meets strict safety standards and arrives on time.

Key takeaways from our visit:
🤝 Building partnerships and expanding connections is important.
⏳ Turning ideas into action takes time and patience.
🌟 Always look for opportunities to improve or grow.
🛠 Starting from scratch can be difficult but rewarding.
⚖️ Following the strictest safety rules is always the best choice.

A big thank you to Mark and Mercedes for sharing their insights and giving us a behind-the-scenes look at how Odyssey operates.
