Show Notes
With Jordan out of the studio, today our guest is Ben Orenstein. He is the host of the Art of Product podcast as well as Co-founder of the online tool, Tuple, which was built for remote pair programming on Macs (screenshare with audio). We talk about what makes an effective and splashy launch, hiring freelancers, and what I’m looking for in a web designer.
