You're awesome. You're worthwhile. You're unique and fantastic. Never forget that. That's been some of the beliefs behind Orange Nebula since they first brought Vindication to Kickstarter, that they were looking to build something different than just a customer base. Now with one campaign down, and multiple plans for 2019, we asked Marc, Lacey and Tom on the show to talk about their success, and their vision and what they are trying to achieve with their company. I really like their style and wh...
