Liam & Hannah are the Co-Founders (CEO & CTO respectively) of Frame, a data science consultancy and computer vision organisation based in West Yorkshire.

Not only are the Co-Founders, but they're also partners, so we dived into that dynamic on the podcast and how they separate work from life - 'pub Thursdays' play a key part in this ...

We also chatted about how their Computer Vision product can have a radical impact on organisations who are trying to sell their products online - with some great real world stories!

This was a really fun one to record, hope you enjoy!
