Raising Our Game

00:00 / 00:48:45

We’re back behind the mic and keeping the streak going during the quarantine. Today we’re updating each other on our energy levels on Day # Who-Knows-What of “quarantine life”, catching up on the latest news in our businesses, how we put pressure on ourselves, road maps, standards & communication, Shopify crises, and “sponsored ads.” Not to mention, Zoom poker nights, birthdays, and birthday bikes.

“That’s the challenge with hiring freelancers or contractors. You just want to get it done but you don’t want to spend the months and years to train the work ethic into them.” – Brian
