This week on The Switch Point, Joe sits down with Axiom team members Tina and Jess for another “Off the Rails” episode—an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes look at the people helping build the company from the ground up.

From chaotic office stories and Nerf gun wars to company growth, leadership philosophy, and scaling a business without losing culture, this episode dives deep into what makes Axiom Rail Services different from the typical workplace.

The team talks about:

• Growing from a tiny office into a rapidly expanding operation
• Building in-house railroad inspector training programs
• Why company culture matters more than résumés
• The balancing act between budgets, growth, and big ideas
• What it’s really like working inside a fast-moving rail company
• Conferences, branding, recruiting, and the future of Axiom
• Team bonding, Topgolf plans, office dynamics, and workplace humor

Plus, things go completely off the rails with zombie apocalypse debates, office superlatives, expense-report arguments, and brutally honest takes on what makes people actually stay at a company long term.

It’s funny, candid, chaotic, and probably the most honest look yet at the personalities behind the brand.

Because at the end of the day, the culture behind the company matters just as much as the work itself.
