WFB asked its followers on Facebook and Instagram what the best advice they ever received from their dad or father figure was. Here’s what they said:
Todd Mcdonald
“Treat the job like you are doing it in your home.”
Scott Achterberg
"Don't go into house building. Look into the floor sanding business."
Woodman Flooring
"If it's too hard for everyone else, then it's just right for Runyons." –The Big R (Unofficial family motto)
Wesley Goetz
“Slow down before you get to the turn, and then accelerate out of it.” It's at least my most-used piece of advice, lol.
Johnny Rodriguez
"Do you want to soar with the eagles... or hang around with the bats.” –Mike Z. These words etched in my thick skull and til this day, I am very thankful. 🍻
Ron Teljeur
"No, you've got it." When I wanted to do something but doubted myself, or if it was possible. His reply meant you have to ask to see if you can get a "yes," since if you don't ask, you already have a "no."
Wayne Lee
Joking one day with dad about inheritance, he said, "Mom and I have given that to you already: birth and a world of opportunity." Thankfully, I’ve been blessed with many opportunities. Love you, Dad.
Joe J Hudson
“Pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered.”

“All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie.”
