At just 28 years old, Blair Langston has helped grow a family business into an expanding network of power sports dealerships and other ventures reaching customers across the country—all while remaining firmly rooted in Florence.

Blair joins @DoubleRFlo-Town to talk about growing up in Timmonsville, learning business alongside his father and brother, building HBS through social media, and the opportunities and limitations that come with operating in a smaller market. He also shares how returning to his faith changed his priorities, why mentorship matters, and why he believes Florence remains the right place to build for the future.

The conversation also explores local development, the need for skilled technicians, reinvesting in overlooked properties, and the difference young business owners can make when they choose to stay and contribute to their hometown.
