David Allan: Hey, everybody We’re back with another edition of the podcast. I’m David from makewordspay.com and we’re here today with a man named Liam Martin. He’s the founder and CEO of Time Doctor staff.com. Well I have to ask about a domain name and a bit too I’m sure because that’s very exciting one. Liam Welcome to the show man.
