“Startup life is exciting, sure, but it’s also fairly precarious and challenging.

“Mike Salguero, one of four founding members of Custom Made, shared similar thoughts, saying sometimes taking a few minutes to stop what you’re doing and really listen to your colleague is what makes all the difference.
