Friday Happy Hour Photo: I Love the Friends I Have Gathered Together on This Thin Raft

10.04.2024 by David Murray // Leave a Comment

I said it before, and I’ll say it again:

I realize I’m lucky to be running a company where know-nothing, greedy investors aren’t asking me if I could squeeze another 10% from the bottom line next quarter. Lucky to be running a company small enough that even a space cadet like me can keep most of the important things in mind. And lucky to have met these people and gathered them on this thin raft. “There is nothing,” my old man used to say when he ran his own circus, “like a good man or woman.” 

But mostly, lucky to have assembled a crew that has the same basic idea of what all this is for: To take the best care of one another—and everyone in our orbit—that we know how to do. That’s it. 

It’s plenty of work.

I hope it’s also plenty rewarding. Not every single day, of course. But on all the days—the good days, and the bad days—that count.
