Eric Josefson and Justin Heisig: Cigar Goals and Success By Accident

Listen Later

Co-Creators and co-hosts of The Burndown Podcast, Eric Josefson and Justin Heisig, tell us how a tiny comment in their first Burndown Podcast episode became their calling card and a hashtag with 14k posts. Plus, we discuss expensive cigars we’ve splurged on and when and why they were worth it. I think you're going to enjoy this rollercoaster of a conversation.
