    Very Rich and Very Sad Nov 15, 2021

    What does success get you? You worked really hard, and what did you get from it? Or what good comes out of using someone else’s hard work? Chris and Jared talk about the world, and how society has its sights set on the wrong thing. Hustling, going fast and making as much money as you can. Rather than making things better, optimizing how things are done and making life a little smother for everyone. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

    Big Picture Refocus Jan 13, 2020

    Note from Carol: Some leaders won’t admit running off course - but not ours. In my humble opinion, that's what makes our owners the best bosses in the world. That's what makes this company have so much promise in my eyes. From day one working here, I was impressed by how owners and leadership react to challenges. They're not problems, they're opportunities to be great, to be creative. There is always a solution, and it's even fun. "Don't panic" - that was my first life lesson here. One thing we love about Jared Truby is his excitement for take-aways and new learning opportunities that stem from what some people might call a set back.
