    It was more about building a shop where his customers could connect.

    “Sometimes you feel like you’re a counselor but then again you turn right around, and you feel like you’re being counseled. You learn from them and then they come for advice,” Carter explained.

    On Wednesday, clients surprised him with a celebration.
