I started hiring high school kids on a part-
time basis. They lived and breathed
snowboarding, and a couple of them went on
to become world champions. Through them,
I learned more about the sport and the
market than I knew possible. That turned out
to be a brilliant move, because they
understood the market differently than I did. –
