Episode 444: New Jersey Wine

via Facebook

This episode originally ran on March 15, 2013.

Sometimes your success depends on how your competitors behave. People judge you not just by your product, but by the product that your rival down the street makes.

Music: Music: Bon Jovi's "Livin' On A Prayer," "Indie Boy."
