I recently spent time with some of Air Flow’s favorite customers. We hopped planes and inspected Price’s technical center outside of Phoenix. I heard several customers gush about the performance of our sales teams. That sure makes me feel good. And I got to thinking...
Sorry, vegans and vegetarians, you won’t like this metaphor. Pretend the meat is tempeh. Our human brains don’t have the capacity to understand everything. That’s way too much work, and cuts into our Netflix binge watching. On the other hand, some things are worth...
