I believe: Good quality costs money, usually more money.
I appreciate: The newest styles, but see them as fleeting and therefore not very valuable.
I enjoy: Quality and classic styles that last for a long, long time.

I believe: We buy mediocrity with excellent marketing while excellence sits in your neighbors garage due to a lack of marketing.
I appreciate: The challenges of taking a good idea to market.
I enjoy: Talking with others who look for novel ways to get things done.
