Maybe They Will Notice My Potential, An Interview with Ken Tomita

I think a great way to introduce Ken is to read a direct quote from Grovemade‘s website. “The seeds were planted a decade ago by pure chance when I moved my custom furniture business into a humble workshop backing up to the railroad tracks. Across the street, in a run-down home, we called the “Fight Club House” lived enthusiastic entrepreneur Joe Mansfield. He was somehow running a very successful laser engraving and digital art business out of a spare bedroom. We soon became friends and would often throw a football around in the street—endlessly tossing creative ideas back and forth dreaming up the next big thing. One hot day in the summer of 2009, Grovemade was born.” Learn how to manage your transformation initiatives.
