Corey is off enjoying his vacation this week, so Chris is joined by a special guest, Michael Aubry, the founder of Story Creator!

Michael shares why he built Story Creator, some of the challenges along the way, how he thinks about content marketing, and he reveals some exciting product updates that he's working on.

Chris continues to harp on the benefits of monthly reviews as he looks back at a not-so-great September and discusses his plans for Q4 as he looks to finish the year strong.

They also discuss the ups and downs of running a business, staying motivated as a solo-founder, marketing a "main dish" vs a "side dish", living in San Diego, and the future of office work.
