#85: Building B Rural Co. Work Ethic, Innovation and Backing Yourself with Brandon Sigvart
Q: What sparked the jump from a side project to a full-time business?
It was a combination of steady online growth, a strong demand surge for our 3D-printed components, and the realization that the hours and energy we were putting in could be better rewarded if we treated it as a real business and scaled production.
