I don't sell products. I sell excuses.

I don't sell products.
I sell excuses.
Excuses to leave the house.
Excuses to meet new people.
Excuses to sit across from your kid for 2 hours with no screens.
A Pokemon tournament isn't a Pokemon tournament.
It's a reason to belong somewhere.
A Magic: The Gathering night isn't about the game.
It's about the table.
The conversation.
The "same time next week?"
I'm not in the collectibles business.
I'm in the gathering business.
