Unlike many of our podcasts guests, Nathan Hirsch did everything to avoid going into corporate after doing an internship at Firestone. He knows he was not cut out for it and fell into selling baby products on Amazon which went very well, but he struggled to keep up with growth and was disappointed with a freelance platform. Instead of complaining, he and his business partner Conor went and solved it. The rest is history.
