    • Ep. 1 SkillSeeker Time Capsule with Emma Lee

      The very first episode of SkillSeeker Podcast! We wanted this one to serve as a time capsule and give a real insight into the behind the scenes of where we are in business right now. I'm sure it will be cringeworthy when we listen back at the end of the year or 200 episodes later. It will also be real, raw and true representation where we were in business, how far we have come and how far we have to go.
