In this fast paced industry where nothing is ever good enough you HAVE to be wound tight and stay that way.

QUOTE(Jake Raby @ Feb 27 2008, 11:39 AM)  In this fast paced industry where nothing is ever good enough you HAVE to be wound tight and stay that way. I disagree. Chip Foose, Troy Trepanier are two names most would notice and I can guarantee they aren't "wound tight" Not in the same way as Boyd was. I respect the guys werk, and grew up admiring him BUT I then saw his true side. There is no reson at all to treat employees like he did. That show IMHO was the worst thing he could have done to his image. Leave that dirt under the rug. Sorry he is dead but I do not agree with the way he ran his shop, but maybe that is why I'll never be that "great". Drive, skill and aspiration do not go hand in hand with piss poor attitude ! |
