Today, Mike and Lucas talk about embezzlement, yelling at customers as a shop owner, and how to learn lessons from mistakes.  Lucas talks about a leadership class in San Diego he attended and how it impacted his management approach. Lucas then enters the confessional to talk about a confrontation he had with a customer he should have fired years ago. Does he regret how he handled it?
