We're only 36 people.We have to be tight and nimble because as we have evolved and grown as an organization, we've focused a lot on doing less [and doing it] better.Whereas when I first started, it was like, let's do everything with everyone and let's show up at every event and let's talk to every shop and let's do everything.
