What musician, album, or song best describes what working at Steampunk means to you?
“Riser” by Dierks Bentley embodies the spirit of perseverance, resilience, and hard work – Grit. Grit is the power of passion and perseverance for long-term goals. Grit will outperform many other attributes and characteristics. People with grit are goal-oriented, purpose-driven, and willing to put in the hard work to realize their dreams and become the best in their fields. Additionally, country music speaks to the soul. It’s human–centered and based on the human experience. Country Music tells stories many of us can relate to with compassion.
