Who doesn’t love a happy ending? Don’t be quick to assume where I’m going with this topic! From the time we were children listening to fairy tales, to now as adults, watching our favorite movies or sporting events, we long for the happy ending where the hero wins out over evil, the knight slays the dragon, the lost souls are found or our team wins the game. I’m starting to get that feeling about our industry right now.
