I too came away with the same impression. This is &#8212; by far &#8212; the most impressive business I&#8217;ve been in. Not because it makes a ton of money (it only has $24 million in sales) but because of the approach it takes. I&#8217;ve spoken to executives at many of the world&#8217;s best or most respected companies like Target, Boeing, Nestle, Google, Amazon, Sun Microsystems, and fell in love with this little company. I hope to help make Podtech even 1/100th as fun a place. Also because it is being built in the absolute middle of nowhere without ANY geek infrastructure around it.</p>
<p>Andrew Field is my business hero.</p>
<p>Awesome post Christian. Thanks for putting to words thoughts that have been rattling around in my head ever since that tour.</p>
<p>Oh, and I love their dog policy. At the end it simply says &#8220;no cats.&#8221;</p>
