Sometimes we reflect back at that position only to have nightmares of the deadlines we had and the grueling projects we worked on.

Dustin McKissen talks about the job he had while going to school at night and raising his family and what he learned from his boss who was born in the same year as his dad! He described his boss as being a driven entrepreneur with immense knowledge and someone who built their company off of their credit card and personal sacrifice. McKissen said he learned a lot from his boss and respects him even more year after year. Here are a few of things he took away from his relationship with his boss:
