Is this real life?  

Entrepreneurship is filled with surreal moments that 

leave your head spinning in a good way--and sometimes they come full circle.

 

Grimsmo's secured downtime for projects pushed to the wayside during Norseman production.  Stay tuned for a new video detailing Erik's tumbler tweaks.

Grimsmo addresses rumors about his absence from YouTube.  

The drought is over!

 

 

Speaking of YouTube: DON'T FEED THE TROLLS. 

The guys discuss riding the social media roller coaster, the conscious decision to avoid negativity, and the fine line between pandering vs. creating genuine content.  Having a community that has your back makes all the difference.
