Part of our mission of having humans help humans, I decided to have my friend and CEO,

Marty Davis of Cambria, a $500 million company sit down with me and talk a little bit about

business, making money, and hopefully giving money or said differently, opportunity to

people.

Marty, thanks for being here.

Thanks, Bill.

Well, what kind of advice would you have with somebody to be able to get from zero to

half a billion?

Well, first of all, half a billion dollars, it was never a goal.

I think keeping it small.

And we had very short kind of goals that we could attain, and that was to produce a

good product, a high quality product.

Capitalist critical.

And how you develop it, many, many entrepreneurs do amazing things and end up with one percent

of their company because they had to go out and borrow money and give up equity.

So we were fortunate there as well.

It was very important to have the ability to take the risks.

We went through the period of time where we said we pay for our raw material first, our

payroll second, and then we deal with trade payables by calling people up and saying,

we need your patience.

And we went through that a couple times here at Cambria.

We would have been through it in the dairy business too.
