nice topic for an article. Both of my parents were at the Snake River Canyon, when he tried to jump in 1974. He made quite an impact in Twin Falls that year, besides that fact that he wasn’t successful!

Great tips - I like the comparisons you’ve made. I do not remember the baseball bat incident though. I think you really have to develop a thick skin in business and not care what people say, or think of you. You’re never gone to be able to please everyone.

Nicely done. It’s getting harder and harder to have a unique business model or selling prop these days…your best bet is to keep at it, do your personal best, and let that be what you’re known for.
