Ultimately by creating the product line ourselves, validating it in the market… That’s what would have allowed us to scale a whole hell of a lot faster”

Then it’s that fourth-year and it sprouts out like a rock. And that’s where all of this hard work finally comes to fruition. So that’s where you really have to just put one foot in front of the other and just get started and go”

- “What insights do you have that are more better than anybody else you know? And that is where you have got to build a business”
