Only Way To Fail

S0E10 - EOS Quarterly Planning Special - The End (By far the most fluid, laid back, comfortable episode to date)

Listen Later

This week Garret plays golf in an empty cornfield, Darin defines mental vs. mental, Tyler leaves for a Zoo, and James forgets what a headline is again.  All of this and more as the team finishes up Quarterly planning, talks through what's next and shares the rocks they are taking on in Q4.
