- Product/Service Passion. Our business thrives or dies by products/services.

- Creative cost cutting constantly. There's always a smarter way, always room to cut, always ways to do more with less - a cost advantage is a competitive edge.
- Fewer, more capable. Bias to as lean of a team as possible, with the highest competency - reducing communication and coordination, creating more effectiveness.
- Underdogs. What we've done is nothing compared to what we're going to achieve now. We're fighting to be the best, clawing and biting up and forward, aiming to be the champs, be #1. Scrappy AF no matter how much we accomplish. We've never 'arrived' in our minds. We're the underdogs always.
