Uncle Marv kicks off the episode with Joe Balsarotti, a long-time ASCII member and owner of Software to Go, a computer store with over 40 years of history. Joe shares his journey from retail software sales to becoming a full-service IT provider serving customers in 42 states. He emphasizes the importance of empowering staff, sharing how he gives his employees credit cards and encourages them to think like owners.
