In this episode, the gang talks about how a business is the video game hard mode of life, and it gets crazy with Art In Your Face.

On your really on the same page with your staff and/or co-workers? How do you know? The gang pontificates upon misunderstandings in the workplace and how the smallest of miscommunications can fester and lead to huge problems. Then we talk about movies and other dumb stuff. And cuss a lot, as normal. Sorry, mom.

Sometimes we like to make high-level requests of our employees here at Books & Brews to see if the staff can rise to the challenge: punch in, do your job, punch out. How do you think that goes? Not good, y'all, not good. You want to open a business? Start realizing that those three simple steps are the exception and not the rule.

One of the biggest misnomers in all of sports is that defense wins championships. And it's the same in business. Going on offense (revenue generation) always trumps great defense (limiting expenses). And normally you can't do both at the same time. The gang discusses this topic but the bulk of the episode is nonsense.
