6 of these per IB3. Lots of time to keep up with orders. Passion will keep you pushing long after everything else says it’s time to quit.
What drives my passion? Going to see a concert tonight at a dive bar with my family.
Music is the reason.
I hope live bands and supporting real musicians is your reason too.
