Bruh…did you just assume my c-suite status? I identify as CxO to cover the bases…

Nice subtle plug for your CV there.

Shoes and fitting and whatnot...

But yeah...I thought you were making a joke. And I was gonna make a 'vote for the white half, BO' joke...but figured that was culturally insensitive these days and pivoted.

I'm the 3rd generation of a family business. I'm kind of jealous of other people's situation who work for the man and can just walk away for a week because someone else will handle it. Vacations are constant phone calls or texts. And am also jealous of the first gen guys who get to keep all the $$ they make. Our business is smack dab in the middle of boring stability and "it's all your problem". It's a fairly unwieldy snowball you have to keep rolling to keep from melting.

So much truth.....even "vacation" isn't really vacation. Family business has it's up's and down's but it works ok for us. Dad and I can't leave and go on a 2 week vacation together but if we decide on thursday morning we want to head to WV with the side by sides and ride for the weekend we load up and go. But the ride there and back is usually phone calls and text messages with stuff that has to be dealt with. I think this is why @awheelterd and i get along so well, LOL

We're not that smart. Literally all of us would go crazy not being in the day to day and being down in the trenches. My grandad "retired", took two country wide road trips, came back and was chomping at the bit to be back at it.. At 87yrs old none the less 😅. After a while it turns out that the feeling of accomplishment and seeing the fruits of your labor is worth more than potential windfalls. At least for us. Like I said, we're weird

Anyone that hasn't met your grandad and your pops is missing out for sure...
