Thanks, Jasen. I hope that I didn’t give the impression that starting and growing a puzzle company is an easy thing to do. I know that it isn’t and I must have omitted a lot of significant challenges and setbacks along the way.
Separate from my discussions with you and other puzzle-makers I recently watched a 6-minute “entrepreneur interview” on YouTube with one of the co-founders of Liberty Puzzles. It was recorded 8 years ago. Quite interesting, including the interviewer’s comments at the end. You can find it by searching with: “Chris Wirth Liberty Puzzles”.
I'd have replied sooner to this fine post if I hadn't felt rather harried over the past too weeks.
I enjoyed reading about Jasen Robillard's career arc. Isn't life puzzling?!
I didn't know anything about how UV and intense LED lighting had anything to do with superior inking of colour onto puzzle pieces! That was very interesting, too.
I did know that the Covid-19 pandemic had a lot to do with people getting more occupied with indoor activities.
Good on you for introducing the StumpCraft team. I'm pleased to know that they care about being good (and environmentally caring) citizens.
Of the glimpses of puzzles we got today, I like "Not Easily Phased" best.
I'm looking forward to learning about and, I hope, seeing StumpCraft landscape puzzles in your next post.
Thanks Bill - excellent writing as always. Clearly, you can make any topic interesting!
