Searching For SaaS

This week we chat about where we look for information and how we learn. Turns out we approach learning very differently depending on what category it is.

We're 18 episodes in and we get a little meta about the podcast so far. Revisiting the "why", how we far we've come, and where we want to go next.

Hiring is a tricky business. Bringing in the wrong person can be incredibly expensive and even damaging to your team. Nate questions Josh on the hiring processes he and his company have developed to help get the right people on the team.

Both Nate and Josh have a development background. In this episode we find out how they got into software programming which is a bit of a trip down memory lane. We also hear updates on Josh's 6-week sprint and Nate's ad-spy idea.

Whether you've only listened one episode or all of them, we need your help to make the podcast better. Please give us feedback using the link below.

We won't require email or anything personal. It's easy to complete on a mobile device!
