Thank you comment icon Your response shows compassion and a depth of understanding in the construction industry. Thank you for sharing. This was super helpful for me at a much-needed time of reassurance. I also have to lift up your #Client Success Management and praise you for those efforts. Those relationships are so special and important for them to evolve into something beautiful that can grow and live on through other clients and accomplishments. All that is to say, I'm doing great! Moved the business to Hawai'i, specializing in construction finishes, texture, paint, and hardscape. Everything I need to stay busy, keep 1 or 2 employees happy while the business stabilizes and flourishes into something strong enough to bridge the next phase of development. Aloha and good day Myra.
