Justin: I'm a believer like you put any number in front of me, even if it seems really difficult, I at least believe that it can be done. You have to have some optimism because if you don't, you're kind of dead in the water. Justin: Can you talk about the impact that dad had and how he sort of played into what you learned? It also seems really valuable to have an executive at that level selling into your first dollars.
