Quick Take
This hits Brian's entrepreneurship and side project interests hard - Home Depot's story of building culture, persistence through rejection, and scaling retail operations has direct parallels to his print-on-demand automation and web agency tools. The "culture of ownership" angle especially resonates with someone running multiple projects and thinking about sustainable business systems.
