PARTNERS IN BUSINESS & LIFECHANNON & DANIEL JOHNSTONChannon: We wouldn’t have been able to purchase this building.Daniel: I was a skateboarder downtown, so going from being a renter to an owner and being able to invest back into downtown was awesome. Another thing is bringing some living back downtown.PC Living: What are your goals both personally and for your businesses? Channon: We want to try to purchase another building downtown and redoit. We want to do this again and hopefully with more apartments.PC Living: How about individually?Channon: I don’t know, my dream was what I just did with the salon, so...Daniel: I’m just trying to maintain, as of now. Keep my sanity, [laughs] but any time there’s a building or something downtown or something comes up, that’s when our eyes light up. For myself, I’m super happy where I’m at, trying to bring more retail downtown. We want to be a positive in uence on the area.PC Living: Do you have tips for couples in business or going into business together?Channon: If you’re going into di erent businesses, keep it separate and stay sane. If it’s together, have your roles and respect each other’s opinions.Daniel: I would just say, good luck. [laughs] It’s a lot of work.
