Overkill Custom Inc!! What an awesome experience for startUP to visit with Shawn & Shawna Martin! We got to tour the shop and see firsthand how cars that are completely mangled from accidents can be repaired and restored to look brand new! Shawn & Shawna also shared some great advice, including a reminder that competition is good and can actually be one of the best things for a business!

Thank you both for taking the time to share your knowledge and experiences with us!

A big thank you to Daisy Conner with Buena Vista National Bank for spending time with us today! She shared some great tips on content creation and walked us through how to use CapCut to create engaging videos.
