Anyone see this? I missed the episode and only heard about it from the usual social media outlet propagandists and would like to get opinions by those who happened to catch it on the boob tube . Would like to get honest feedback where we to cut through all the hype from all our industry marketers (Trade Magazines & Associations). Can't find it anywhere on the internet "unlocked" Did it do a small the small aspect of our trade justice, and represent it well? Or are we just going to hear how "Great" it was by people like the Broccoli eater? ******Found it (Edit) http://www.cbs.com/s...-boss-fastsigns
