High-margin pickups, warehouse chaos, and too many phone calls
Rained out parties, tiny daycare jobs, and keder frame practice runs
Margins high, energy low
Balancing festivals, tents, and credit cards
Networking naps, contract wins, and AI sparks
Heat check halfway through the $28K push
The day the tent poles almost broke me
When the day pulls a bait-and-switch
Saving tents, cutting lights, and squeezing in some networking
Learning lessons, high margins, and forgetting the business cards
Training a rookie while dodging shortages
Finding balance between business and being human
