.Having grown up in Lewes, Josh shares what led to his opening the first and still only clothing store in Lewes catering to men and the route he took to build a successful business whose worth is far more than just its financial success. It’s a story about the value of family, a supportive community, and creating your own brand. And, perhaps most of all, it’s a story about designing a business that supports your life instead of reshaping your life to support your business.

Megan and Brian decided to leave the D.C. area, buy a store (something they had never done), sell, rent and repair bikes (something they had never done), and build a business (once again, something they had never done). Sounds like a risky plan, but it wasn’t. Who they are and what they brought to the business was far more important than having a detailed business plan or an encyclopedic knowledge of bicycles. Once you’ve heard their story, the success that followed makes complete sense.
