Sabian: I met someone I never would’ve expected to find at a laundry plant, much less quietly working under me. I’ll call him Shawn. Shawn was an entrepreneur who built up his own meat-packing business in the Middle-East for over 23 years, having employed over 200 staff at his factory. He managed large teams and

Let’s start at the beginning of my business journey. I was working my first (and last) company job at one plant of a commercial laundry enterprise, first as a monorail operator of the “clean linen” department, then as lead hand of the “dirty linen” department. Having grown up on TV shows and movies where businesses
