That's really why we started the shop. When I had that realization, I said, ‘Oh man, I gotta share this with as many people as possible.’”  - Dave Forster“Really the answer is creating a system, or a process, or a culture, or a team to where there's no burden on anyone.”  - Chaz Wolfe“Regardless of what widget or whatever would be in the shop, we're still gonna be having community events and bringing people together around a table in some way.”  - Dave Forster“If you're community driven, if you're people driven, if you're authentic, you're trying to help people, business circles back fast if you do it in that way.”  - Chaz Wolfe“If you make it about people, if you make it about the solution, if you make it about authenticity, then that's how the business survives.”  - Chaz WolfeBooks and Resources Recommended:The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E.
