Sam is still in the thick of his current work project, however there is potentially some light at the end of the tunnel. Max pitches his new business idea, garden consulting.

Well, it has been two months and a lot has changed and a lot hasn’t. Max’s life has been a whirlwind of change while Sam has been a steady source of consistency.
