Higher value. Stronger culture.In this episode, Vinny shares the story behind the eviction, the community that helped keep Revolution alive, and the business lessons that came from being forced to rebuild.His biggest reminder to other business owners?Don’t get complacent.Business will shift whether you are ready or not.
