James PM Gaffney took a few moments out of his day to chat with me about the law of averages, design and his favorite topic: kerning. You learn something new everyday when you chat with other entrepreneurs; sometimes they aren't your people. If you attribute it to the fact that there is bound to be someone you don't like in a group of people, you know you're in the right place.

Running a profitable business is a big challenge, but when you've been in business for close to 20 years, you listen to what they've got to say. You can connect with James via jamespmgaffney.com.
