Humans live within many types of systems, with nature taking the top spot of how we govern our day to day existence. We live our lives by unwritten rules of this system, only questioning it when it doesn't work for a particular group.

Have you seen Orange County Choppers? You know - the famous motorcycle reality show that follows the Teutul family around as they build and refurbish chopper-style bikes? What do you think the chair budget was on that show? Because from what we remember, the cameramen spent more time dodging furniture than covering refurbs.

With emotions running high and the already tense relationship dynamic, running a business with members of your own family can feel like a daily fight of words, and sometimes, fists.
