Despite being based in Minnesota and having a handful of staff there, StoryForge is a completely remote company. Most of us have never met any of our coworkers in person.

When you're running a small business, failure is going to happen eventually. It's inevitable. The team talks about how failing as a small business is so different from failing as a large business and what to take away from it.
