Summary
Jay Dillon is the Co-Founder of Yardbird. Yardbird brings new solutions to a stagnant, $5B+ industry with the first outdoor furniture brand that places quality, sustainability and affordability at its core.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. Go and do it. Come up with a the best business idea as you can. A lot of people have justifiable fear of going into business. Failure is fine. We all experience it.
2. Understand the complexities of working with family members in a business.
3. One of the nice things of having many balls in the air or having a lot of things, is you don't have a ton of time to sit and think about ideas. You need to make decisions.
