Happy 1 Year Podcast Anniversary! At Modus, Mercedes is celebrating 5 years since starting this business and Katja is celebrating 3 years since joining, and together we're going behind the scenes to talk about what it's like to run a business, why we started this podcast, and where it's going. We think of it like climbing - there's a lot of joy that goes into it, as climbers we do hard things and love sending; but not every piece of the project is fun, right? Like your skin hurts, or it's cold outside. That's the same with a business! But we're here - following our passion of climbing, educating this community, and sharing the joy! Join our conversation and feel free to comment your thoughts!
