Snippets from the Episode

  •  ”A mentor of mine decades ago said, in the trade show and event space, you're guaranteed to make money six months a year if you show up. You're guaranteed to lose money two months a year. It's usually the summer and it's the other four months that determine whether your business has a good year or a bad year. So what are you doing with those four months?” -Chris
