As a kid I always thought it was so cool seeing the Boos Blocks on the TV. Their brand is high level. This company has a the secret behind a very successful product. Everyone envies this secret recipe for success."

"I knew MBS was a printing company. I did not know MBS specialized in reminder cards for medical businesses. I also did not know how far they sold to. It seems crazy to me that someone in Canada knows where little old Altamont is because of MBS."

"Austin Brooks’ presentation was a total learning experience for me. I knew nothing about marketing. I had not been exposed to it up until his presentation. I will say just by knowing my personality and listening to his presentation I believe I am a strategist. The one thing I took from his presentation was his storytelling.I believe people want to know the story behind a product. They want to see how it was made and where it came from. I would pay extra just to know that the product was made with great care."
