Koala was sometimes shy in his business practices. Time and time again he said something other people thought was odd or out of place in their business world. Finally he decided if he had his own business, his quirky thinking and creativity could be free to live and thrive. Quitting his job and starting his own company gave him all the freedom he yearned for all those years. He hired employees who not only liked his quirks but encouraged him to let them in on all his wacky ideas. Truly being himself was what really mattered in the end.
