Fry’s advice is also his philosophy for business success: “You have to be willing to grow as a person with your company if you want your company to grow. Go to school, educate yourself, read books, find mentors and hold on! Get in and get your hands dirty in all aspects. It will make you respect yourself and people will respect you, which will help you build your company.”
