Ron,

Thanks for sharing this video. I think everyone should have Caine run their moonshine shop!

I love this story. I’m impressed by the pure creativity and imagination which we seem to lose touch with as we grow up. I was also impressed to see the support, encouragement and freedom given by his father. A good lesson on management support!

Thanks, Mark and Mike. It is a great story. And I think his use of the square root function to validate fun tickets is absolutely genius! Will be fun to see what kind of company he runs as a grown up!

This morning, I prayed to God for a little encouragement. That prayer has been answered. Thanks Ron.
