It turned our struggling company into one that is well respected and growing almost faster than we can keep up with. In many ways, it has shaped our very ethos on how and why we give back to the WordPress community.<\/p>\n<p>In business, failure is inevitable but it doesn&#8217;t have to be terminal.
