Growing a business is scary shit, especially in these times. One wrong step ...boom your bankrupt.
Watched a lot of my friends that got killed around the .com, collapse, during the housing collapse, COVID, even in my industry.

Pinball is a high-end niche. My other hobby is audio, and I dabbled in startup in speakers, another niche market. I own a Integration/Network/Security company.
Dog eat dog world out there...I like how Spooky has grown their business...quality and communication
