This is me, climbing. It's also approximately 15 years ago in San Diego, at a place aptly though uninspiringly, named Big Rock. The beauty of a three-partner climbing team is that A) You get to rest, and B) Someone has free hands to take photos.
Today, on my first rock climbing foray since the decade depicted above, we were only a two-partner climbing team, which was excellent in rock time, and hard on camera time. Note to self: Borrow the owner's GoPro before we go out next time.
And that's where the company culture comes in. Or really, before, since two people who work together very rarely, still found time and desire to go do something together outside of work, but I digress. The owner would gladly hand over his GoPro to us and would be stoked that two teammates were out doing something fun together. That's the kind of team we've built over the last few years, as we integrate a new company culture into the old one - for every company has a culture, it's just a matter or whether or not it's an intentional one. Our very intentional company culture supports and encourages an environment where co-worked respect, like and enjoy one another, inside and outside of the building.
So here's to Hassett Hardware: Thank you to everyone on our team, who makes each store a great place to work. And here's to Kyle, who trusted me with his gear and to catch him if he fell.
