Lessons Learned From Running a Computer Store in the 2000s

Join me as I take a trip down memory lane! Back in the early 2000s, my cousin Tony and I started Computer Joey, a computer repair shop in Berlin, NJ. We were young, fueled by big dreams, and learned a TON about running a business.

So grab a virtual cup of coffee and get ready for a dose of nostalgia, tech talk, and some good ol’ fashioned cousin bonding!
