Key Quotes:
- “I’m just so fortunate to not only have been working on something that I love to work on, but to be working on it with my wife. We can kind of share that side, our business side, and the personal side… which does get a little complicated from time to time, I’m not gonna lie. At the same time, it’s something that we’re both very, very proud of, and I think that our relationship as a couple has really been the catalyst for a lot of our success.” – Matthew Parvis
- “Things sometimes don’t always work out long term, and that’s okay. Because, it probably was the right decision when we made that decision a year and a half ago, when the business was a certain size. And, now the business is a different size and has different needs. And so, I do think it’s really, really imperative to always be flexible and kind of look at those issues as positives versus negatives.” – Matthew Parvis
- “I think you can have someone that is like, extremely skilled, but if they don’t have a lot of will to get better or to learn, they’re going to be stuck in a spot where they’re like, okay, you’re good at your job but, you might not be the perfect fit for our brand.” – Matthew Parvis
