They say to be an expert you must read, read, read. Educate yourself, know your product, live it, love it. Depending on who you ask there is an over-whelming belief that you must be "educated" by literature or classroom experience to become an expert in any field.
I'd venture to say that experience and product knowledge can be achieved through different vehicles. Running a business is a very difficult thing to do. I constantly get told that I'm so lucky to be doing what I'm doing. I am. I wouldn't trade my decision to start this or to trust my partners like their my own family for anything. However, until you live through it, until you go through ups and downs, until you fight with one of those brothers you can't fully understand the pride in doing this.
A class or a book can't teach you how to deal with people. Experience can though. The good news with finding a solid team is that they forgive and forget. Kyle & Tony mean the world to me. As well as the rest of this incredible team. We do not agree on every idea, thought, or statement made by one another. However, one thing I know is true, that no matter how much I hate something one of my team members or future employees may say or bring to the table, they're still part of my family and in the end that's all that matters.
